They don't teach that in driver's ed

So this happened in Dallas yesterday:

Which leads me to: WHY are car chases so mesmerizing? High or low speed, it doesn't matter. I guess the fascinating thing to me is, WHY would you lead police around town when you KNOW it won't end well for you? You're either going to run out of gas, run out of highway, blow out your tires, have your tires blown out by the popo, or maybe get blown out yourself by the popo. No good options there, folks.

Everyone remembers where they were during the OJ Simpson Ford Bronco chase (feeling sentimental? here it is.) - you just sat mesmerized for hours. Watching a damn car. Good TV right there.
