Maybe everyone's missing the point.
Maybe these drivers weren't born stupid - maybe they have been coerced by the media into performing such actions?
Maybe they saw Footloose on the weekend and thought they too should rebel against their father, John Lithgow, by wearing a knit sweater, car-surfing and hanging out with the highschool quaterback.
Surely the true villain here is not the driver or his passenger or Nissan or society... the true villain is Footloose, or more succinctly - Kevin Bacon.
Stop people doing stupid things on the road. Ban all Kevin Bacon movies!
