Do you realize that citing personal experiences is only anecdotal and has no basis to establish a reference point or to judge anyone except yourself? Congrats. Thousands, probably millions have that same story, but not sure what else we can gain from that. However, in the US, 40,000 people died in traffic accidents last year.

Not a good endorsement pitch for Hyundai.

… Or pro golfers? (Just extending your endorsement line of thought). Being a pro golfer (e.g. good athlete) isn’t a valid assumption of driving skill or good judgement. Not the slightest.
I think Vllanueva, who has a dubious history in his short stint as Co. Sheriff, waited until public inquiries piled up as to why he appeared to minimize Wood’s responsibility, calling it just an accident. He may also have been swayed by celebrity admiration.
According to reports, Villanueva said nobody would be cited for speeding in a solo vehicle collision without any witnesses. Finally, the black box controversy grew to a point where he finally requested (weeks later) the black box data. Not a witness, but pretty valid evidence; 80+ mph. The black box also recorded no brake pedal action. Draw your own conclusions.
And to spread some mild criticism toward that Daily Mail link:
Whoever created this “as the bird flies” map to indicate Woods crash path……probably an intern (failed civil engineer?)? It indicates a cross country shortcut through the woods. Need a talk with the photo editor.

It's also interesting that up the road a bit, Peninsula Shopping Center is where Pelican Parts has their area AM car meets. I wonder how many exiting cars have performed the pin-ball thing at the bottom of the hill?

Sounds like there is a lot of hate for old Tigger here.

While it seems it’s Tiger-specific hate. IMHO, it’s more indicative of celebrity entitlement backlash.
