You may find this a strange view.

But, If it was the driver I feel like he deserved what he got.

About a year ago, a good friend was going the other direction on a 
motorcycle, on his own side of the road when Stroker-Ace Bubba did 
just what you described above.  Except the over-the-center line car driver
impaled my friend's motorcycle in the middle of his hood killing my friend.

Maybe if they charged the organizers with manslaughter and they faced
a few years in jail, there would be a lot more stress on 'use your head'.
