Oh I disagree.

A speeding drunk person in my town last week recently drove himself into a bridge support leg at something of excess of 100mph. Turned himself into jello. No cops needed.

This person in the article was speeding as well. Without the police, you can argue it might not have happened. But sooner a later, they would have smashed into someone, regardless. It’s a matter of time before they hit something or someone.

I’ll promise you that.
