However, my standpoint on my generalised argument that sometimes we are often caught up in accountability and an uptight society remain.

Perhaps you have a point, in fact I believe there is a strong element of truth to what you say.

But, how would you feel if your family were involved in a crash and either injured or killed because they swerved to avoid this idiot? Would you then feel that he should not be held accountable and is just being a bit of a lad having some fun?

Had that scenario happened, the news report would have read something like "Family of four killed by drunk on the road". You can bet that somewhere in the text the question would be asked how it is that the drunk could get away with having that vehicle on the road in the first place. I bet many comments on here would criticise the police for letting it happen.
