I think Nick Hogan's parents share a little bit of the responsibility because they are the ones who were enablers because they are the ones who bought a sports car for Nick Hogan, somebody who doesn't know how to drive it responsibly. Ultimately, responsiblility falls on Nick Hogan because he's the one who was driving with complete disregard for himself, his passenger and every other motorist who was on the streets at the time of that accident. I think it's fortunate that Nick Hogan's car hit a tree and not another innocent motorist who happened to be driving around and minding their own business.
Nick Hogan's biggest problem is that for whatever reason he can't seperate his driving habits on a race track from his driving habits off of the race track. He should have never have been allowed to drive until he learned to seperate them. If this doesn't serve as a wake up call than nothing will.
You don't hear about drivers in other forms of motorsports like NASCAR, Indy Car Racing, F-1, professional drag racing and professional sports car racing getting in trouble away from the track for anything like what Nick Hogan has done. To my knowledge, there has been a couple of drivers arrested for DUI and a couple were cited for wreckless driving. The wreckless driving arrests didn't involve any excessive speed or anything like that. One instance was a driver was involved in a single-vehicle accident on his way home from a race. He was sleepy and his car went off the road and crashed. The other one involved a driver doing donuts in a parking lot in the Phoenix area.
