But not wanting to condemn someone like Jeanine Piro as some sort of wild eyed hardened criminal for doing it is not the same as endorsing it or recommending that others do the same.
And frankly, your attempt at making that mental leap falls a bit short of the mark.
It's not my mental leap. It belongs to NY refugee. Take it up with him.
Wrong. Alcohol impairs judgement and ability. Not the same.
Get caught on the track drinking and your season and future seasons are over...
Does velocity impair judgement and ability? Nope. But it does test judgement and ability.
Driving while tired also impairs judgement and no professional racer would race while being tired nor would they drive at 119 mph on the highway. So, yes velocity does impair judgement, as shown by professional drivers who have crashed as a result of too much velocity while using poor judgement.
It doesn't require ability to drive at 119 mph, just poor judgement. EMT's have had to pull many mangled bodies from vehicles of those who felt they somehow had good judgement and the ability to drive recklessly.
but you ARE smearing her. this is something stupid and not even newsworthy. but since you cant find anything else on her, you post this up.
She's a former officer of the court and should be held accountable and to a higher standard. She's likely imposed harsh sentences on those who have done the same.
Have you ever driven a late model luxury car like a Caddy?
They will do a buck twenty and feel like a Sunday cruise.
You can easily get to triple digits without even really trying and feel like your loafing along at 65.
Modern cars are so much safer and better engineered that we really should be examining upping speed limits in many areas where 65 is kind of silly.
Sure, you can cruise at a buck twenty all day -- until the unexpected happens. And then things go horribly wrong in an instant at that speed. There's probably nobody on this forum, including you, who can pull off an emergency swerve in a caddy at 120 mph. Don't even pretend that you've ever done that. Unless you're a professional race driver, you'll freeze up and crap your panties and you will dead within seconds, probably taking out other people as well.

An emergency swerve at 70 isn't the best idea either.
You want to lower all the speed limits to moped pace because of it?

Don't be obtuse. Speed limits are set with reaction times and skill levels for average drivers on any given highway. Obviously the more you exceed those limits, the greater the danger.
