I see so many YouTube videos of people running blatantly red lights and getting in accidents or other videos of people stopped and gunning it backwards, hitting something, then they put it in drive and launch full speed forwards and hit something else. What is going through these peoples mind? I just don’t get how there is such a high quantity of these videos.

    As a hardcore roadie that spent years commuting almost exclusively in Southern California, including 2 years of a 66 mile per day commute to a full time job. It feels like somewhere around one in a hundred passing drivers are lethally incompetent, and around one in a thousand are actively homicidal.

    If there are 8B people on Earth, and only 0.01% are crazy, there are 80M crazy people. Nearly everyone has a camera on them at all times now. That’s a lot of potential to record these situations.
