There is a certain irony in slamming the system for letting this idiot get so dangerous (for which the system should be slammed), but Jeannie Muckelstone and her brethren at the bar get a good deal of business from members of this board who have the money to pay a lawyer to get them out of tickets which they earned by breaking the law....

I'll be the first to admit using one of these lawyers a couple times in my life to get speeding tickets off my record. I will tell you though, this guys actions and his chronic history are working from a whole different level. 130-150mph swerving through traffic is completely absurd, and being under the influence? WTF! This guy should not have had an opportunity to reach bail and certainly drive off with his drivers license. This guy clearly has more money then sense and he will kill someone if he continues to drive.

I understand the concept is similar, but getting caught doing 10-20mph over the speed limit and using a lawyer to try and get it dismissed is not even comparable.

I will add, that most of us in this club over the age of 30 with mortgages to pay etc, have enough sense to not act this irresponsibly.

This sounds like the type of guy who is going to keep driving whether he has a license or not...

Driving fast on public roads is less a matter of skill and more a matter of who doesn't care about dying/killing someone.

This guy is probably an expert.

Yeah, obviously interlocks work! lol.

As for the yahoo on the bridge? I've tagged over a buck there, i can't lie. i90's "safer" though.

150 is just insanity though.

Yeah I've broke 100 on 1-90 bridge one time and I got tagged for it too. There was one other car on the bridge at the time on a Sunday afternoon so I felt safe doing so. 520 is insanity, much narrower with just two lanes, expansion joints, steel grates ect. Way to risky.
