text: Shoelaces are quite different than steering and brakes. I agree with David Kelly. Driving is a privilege, not a right. You need to have safe equipment or you should not be on the road ! Did the dude have insurance I would be surprised if he did.  Your example sucks.  Why don't you get the reckless drivers address and send him some money for insurance and brakes and steering repair if you want to help someone so bad.
