I have been driving since 1970. In all that time I have never once, driven off the road. On glazed wet ice in a ice storm I did slide sideways at 1/2 a mile per hour into the curb with the brakes on after I came to a stop. It was a challenge to get moving again. I still managed to drive home 12 miles with no crashes.

Tiger has had a couple of news worthy crashes. There is simply no excuse at all, none, for texting and driving or driving when tired or sleepy or inattentive. Pay attention to the road and hang up the damn phone and drive!

Millions of people crash everyday. Just like most airplane crashes are pilot error, it is even more so with car crashes. They are very few "accidents" most were just bad driving and just a wreck.

When I was 16 and in high school the style for the girls was a very short mini skirt. (Ah the good ol days.) Right in front of my school I was intently watching a particularly cute classmate in a very tight short skirt that for some reason mesmerized me. I rear ended a Buick Roadmaster with my 1960 VW bug. 100% my fault. I knocked off some dirt from the Buick, and crushed my VW front end. That is the only wreck I have ever had except for some fool in a parking lot that ran into me while I was stopped. In 50+ years no wrecks at all.

Anyone at all that drives off the road is simply driving too fast for conditions, and or is very inattentive. Celebrity or not, that is just a bad driver and inexcusable.
