I knew someone once who was driving on a very open back country road out in Colorado. No trees or anything around, maybe a few abandoned homes. He was driving very "Sprited" and then began coming up a hill, which had a rather "fun" steep drop. And just as he was hitting 100, on the other side of the hill two little kids were drawing with chalk in the road. They moved out of the way just in time while he tried his best to stop, and barely missed them. He never sped again after that. You see the problem with abandoned roads is that, well, EVERYONE expects them to be empty.
Just because you think it's an abandoned road doesn't mean there's not a deer, or a kid, or another car stopped. You just don't know. And I would NEVER wish on ANYONE to hit something in their car on the way home "to teach them a lesson" because that's not only morbid, it's just not me and it's not a noble thing to say. So unlike Nasty wishing that on Pat, I'll wish that Nasty doesn't harm himself, his car, or anyone else around him, because he's not immune to danger either. And as Al said, everyone on the road is in danger, for various reasons.
