Why don't you wait to pass judgement till Magnus has an opportunity to talk?

The man has done so much for so many over the years - can't you give him that?

But I'm sure none of you have ever done anything stupid behind the wheel.

Sheesh!

I agree with not judging the guy, it's his mistake to live with and I certainly have done dumb things. Plus I was not involved in the incident.

I just view this experience as a reminder of what should not be done on the road, especially if visibility is blocked. For me his story should be used to teach a lesson and that's about it.

High speed antics on a crowded road should never be condoned. By being silent, we in the community that know him and know of him, say this type of foolishness is acceptable.
Jump on him? of course not but how many of us have condoned his high speed antics on You Tube by being silent?
I hope he learns from this experience but to white wash it as "no big deal" is to say that jeopardizing innocent lives with a reckless disregard for life and property is "no big deal".

I've never condoned high speed antics on Youtube.

I'm also not without sin, so I will not throw the first stone.

I see this as a wake-up call to enthusiasts, and if Magnus has truly done wrong here (as it looks), then I think he can be a strong force for reminding us that a little too much exuberance and a momentary lack of judgement can have serious negative consequences.

I am not for white-washing it; I just can't stand all the sanctimonious *****ing I'm hearing by people I know (and some I've seen) do just a stupid maneuvers!

My $.02.

Anyone know how the Journalist is doing?
I read she was asking him to slow down before he lost it.

Valid point. I have always said that we all make mistakes (sometimes daily); its just that most the time we dont get caught. Although its no excuse, thankfully nobody was hurt (this time). We should all learn from this and be safe out there.

I feel bad for the guy. He did something wrong, but due to his presence, he is being internet witch hunted/shamed too much. Live and let live.

While a bunch of people have been bashing him, I've realized that nobody needs to hear my opinion of him or the incident.

Instead, I've been wondering if he is ok. His head must have take a pretty good knock against his drivers door/window?

[QUOTE=daepp;8775109]Why don't you wait to pass judgement till Magnus has an opportunity to talk?

Magnus chose to forego explaining ANYTHING along time ago. Remember a lot of guys asking our highness how he did this or that and got nothing. If u think he will show up to this party to explain a few dents (on the reporters head) hold your breath till that happens.

Magnus is a self promoter so unless he has something TO promote it ain't gonna happen that he explains what happened.

I've seen a cpl people talk of restoration on the car? I'd ask the passenger bout that cause she May just own a part of that car and Magnus before it's over.
