Idiot.
My sympathy for him has just gone out the window.

And they are taking no action......hmmmmm. Can't help but think if it was me, they'd be taking action.
Reckless driving in California... not less than 5 days in jail OR a fine of not less than $125 and not more than $1,000. For more jail time and/or a bigger fine he would have had to injure someone else.
Bit of a waste of the court's time for someone who has given himself life changing injuries, including self-imprisonment whilst he recuperates and no doubt a medical bill that far outweighs a small fine.
Doubt it; he has inflicted more penalty on himself than they can, beyond the car owner there appears to be no other injured or out-of-pocket party, where is the benefit in a prosecution. The court of public opinion will inflict more damage on him.

Spot on. I often NFA’d single vehicle, sole occupant jobs even if there was a nailed on careless driving offence if the driver had seriously injured themselves. My rationale was always that - the courts couldn’t impose worse penalty than the driver had on themselves.
The only times I ever departed from that was if the driving history was such that a disqualification was in the public interest.
And I agree with those whose sympathy is maxed out. Woods is a fool.
And he never touched his brakes!!
The question I have (as mentioned above), would I be prosecuted for a similar situation? I don't know enough of the rules to know for sure......but I tend to think I would. At least fined a bit heavily....If he got a driving ban he'd probably serve it on crutches. And given the current climate, the phrase "not in the public interest" is probably even more pertinent than usual. Absolutely nothing to be gained from a prosecution.
