People looked shocked at me when I say that but I try to remind them that even if you cower in your bunker you are still going to die. I'm not worried about dying. I'm worried about having never really lived. I hope that this post helps to keep someone else out there safe.
Thanks for the informative post, and glad you're OK. Someone without insurance, registration, or a license has no business driving a lethal vehicle. I'd hope his license would be removed for life, but seeing as he didn't even have one, perhaps that's too much to hope for. Stay safe.
