Mind blowingly stupid. Blithering idiots. And when they write somebody off... Lock him up and take his licence away.

There are easier ways to deal with such a situation. Drop her next to the side of the road and continue driving, without risking anyone's life in the process.... T'swaht I would do. Just sayin'.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? 224km/h because you angry at your girlfriend?

I see this as a sorry excuse for wanting to speed.

Yeah, you can see right through that one. It is almost like the dog ate my homework. There was a guy a few weeks ago that said that he was hurrying to feed his father's dogs. What the hell does that have to do with driving a million kilometers per hour?

Pathetic. Nothing justifies this. Of course, if you have a serious injury or your missus is going into labour, that's different. But that is rare.

Should be a provision in the law to empire this scourge from the road permanently. So that he doesn't get a Darwin Award in the future.

One of the things my dad taught me about driving is to never drive when you are angry. It is dangerous as it causes road rage in the heat of the moment and can be fatal as mistakes are so likely when you are not thinking clearly.
Stupid idiot should have stopped the car and sorted things out with his gf before moving forward again. Leaving her on the side of the road could be dangerous for her so to me that isn't even a good choice.
