The whole public reaction to this I think really shows just how little people know about their cars and how much of their reactions are based on paranoid uninformed assumptions.

While I potentially agree with the wreckless driving charge depending on how fast they were going, I think everything else is totally ridiculous.
I agree with you, but the problem lies in being had, not really what the car suffered. It's like having a beer pre-opened and sipped before you first drink it. It's just not right.

Public reaction is simply common sense.
