this man should have the book thrown at him. mr. crank is an owner operator truck driver that pulls freight right out of delaware county. was he heading to work? to allow him to keep his cdl’s would be outragious.
Care to bet the judge won’t give him even one day in jail and he’ll be back out on the road driving drunk and stooopid all over again ?
126 MPH you would have been picking up car and body parts for two counties.
“They have made the motto their own.“ That makes sense. I’d be on drugs if I was in traffic safety. Wouldn’t you? And how about that photograph? Will he ever live that down? Nick Nolte has some serious competition there.
Then the traffic safety people had better be notified. They have made the motto their own.
The phrase “speed kills” refers to amphetamine usage.
Too bad this piece of trash didn’t just slam into a tree and take himself out since it’s very likely he’ll drive drunk again and probably not be as lucky as to not kill some innocent person or people.
126 mph and no one died. As great a refutation of the “SPEED KILLS” caveat as one could hope for.
