I must be the one person on earth who is impervious to peer pressure. When I talk to my husband about something stupid that he did, his excuse is always "Well, everyone else did it...." and I"m always saying "So what?" I am proud to say that I have never, in my entire life, done something just because "everyone else did it".
So to Ravi, I say, WHY did you "have" to keep up with your friends? Was there a prize? Were they going to kill your family? What is the worst thing that could have happened if you slowed down?
I also snort in disgust at his comment "I am a law-abiding citizen who would never intentionally hurt someone". Dude, you were going 200 km/hr...which is against the law. You left the scene of an accident....which is also against the law.
I say deport him. He didn't have enough respect for Canada and it's laws, because he was screwing around with this friends, and his actions ended up killing someone. Why should he get to stay here, and enjoy the benefits of living in Canada?
But, I do seem to have my crankypants on this morning, so take it for what it's worth.
