I can see your point and of course the family must be devastated, probably more so because their son was also guilty of causing injury to his passenger, but we have no idea whether or not she was egging him on to beat his rival in this stupid mindless race. The other car driver may also be equally to blame because in order to have a race you have to have somebody racing against you.

Will anybody learn from it? I very much doubt it. Nobody ever thinks it will happen to them. I used to work with someone who went out and got drunk every Thursday night, either drowning his sorrows because his 5-a-side team lost or celebrating because they won. He then drove home afterwards and never believed anything could possibly happen to him. He's dead now. He was an idiot.
