Why? Pure luck. I'm reminded of the scene in 'Pulp Fiction' where the guy unloads his gun at close range and doesn't hit Samuel L Jackson or John Travolta.
Rather than spending a lot of time trying to figure out the parameters of pure luck, I'd suggest thinking real hard about how you can avoid a similar situation in the future. And if you don't know what I mean - TONE IT DOWN. Your high school antics have many serious outcomes that could tragically harm some innocent bystander.
If you need to prove your driver prowess, take it to the track.

+2.... Auto Crossing is the best way to test your limits like that. Not the street.

He said he was in an industrial area that was empty and at 8 pm on a Saturday night.
I'm all for driving safety but if there is a 100% chance of not harming anybody else - I'm all for having fun at my own risk.

100% chance? It's a public road and at any time anyone could pop out of no where. Yes, the odds are very low....but not 100% safe.
This crap is for the track.

Sex would involve 2 consenting adults, whereas running someone over - I'm guessing one wouldn't be consenting!
