We could just about have been there on the same day. Perhaps all that traffic was just tourists doing laps of the Rendezvous.

LOL, don't blame me I was there with an old red bicycle! besides Paris and traffic are synonymous.

This incident looks like the result of extreme recklessness, so it's hard to draw a comparison to less reckless acts of irresponsibility, but situations are under control till the moment they go out of control.

So I'm not defending this act of recklessness, but I'm just pointing out that much more innocent acts of irresponsibility that you probably engage in everyday can easily fall into the category of "some stupid **** on the street" if the wrong set of events comes together to work against you.

EDIT: Saying "I only do *it when it's safe" doesn't count as not being irresponsible. You're doing it on the streets, you have no way of knowing, or controlling, what could happen.

*"It" being anything that can be seen as irresponsible, for example fast acceleration, taking corners briskly, street racing, anything.
