Well, I guess my thing is.......how much risk is acceptable to the people around him
on the road.  I mean, it's one thing if you kill yourself, but it's another thing
entirely if you take someone else with you.

Case in point.......a couple of weeks ago, I got sideswiped by a tractor trailer who
didn't stop.  I had two other people in the car.  And even though it wasn't my fault
-- and that's what's in the police report -- they were still my responsibility and I
feel worse about their injuries than anything else.  And this is with minor injuries
-- a couple of bruises and cuts.
