Somehow I feel like I should have been more scared. Zero adrenaline reaction. I sort of watched in detached fascination.
This has made me hesitate to rate the driver. He was otherwise very good.
It's like that Jerry Seinfeld joke about New York cabbies driving crazy and not being worried because they're licensed.
