If there is a "fault" to be found, it was in making a poor choice of when to mash the peddle. Call it a moment of enthusiasm, call it a moment of fun winning over judgement, or do as we are doing and call it an accident...

Mongoose,

Brett is ABSOLUTELY correct on this... It was Mark's fault pure and simple... It was mentioned that he was bumped during the race, even if he was it doesn't matter..... Where is the accountability?
It's a shame he's dead... a real shame.... but it was by his own hand... and on top of that he almost killed someone else who trusted him...
It looks like he did no better than your "average driver".

He is responsible for all the decisions made that night....This was anything but an accident. He is being held accountable...
Why is this concept so hard to grasp????
