No these are not the result of speeding, they are simply just the result
of reckless driving.
;*}More tragic examples of the result of speeding and reckless driving:
;*}
;*}A motorist was going 85 mph, weaving from lane to lane to lane. He lost
;*}control of his car, and it flipped over several times, his seat belt
;*}failed, and he was ejected. The rescue squad workers found him at the
;*}bottom of an embankment, and his brain was hanging out. The coroner
;*}pronounced him dead. He was put in a body bag. He was taken to the
;*}morgue.
;*}
Everytime you change lanes especially if you're doing it to pass slower
traffic, you are taking unneccesary risks and are thusly driving
recklessly.
;*}A motorist was taking dope and doing 110 mph. He rounded a curve on an
;*}Interstate that was designed for 60 mph. A tractor-trailer was disabled
;*}and stopped (air brakes locked up) on the outer lane of the expressway.
;*}He hit his brakes at the last second, and he slammed into the back of
;*}the truck. His head got chopped off.
;*}
Don't do drugs and drive. Not only is it stupid but it's reckless. And
taking a curve designated for 60 MPH at over 100 MPH is pretty stupid and
reckless.
;*}A motorist was going 80 mph _in the rain_. His car hydroplaned, and
;*}spun out. It went off the road, up an embankment, and down, and hit a
;*}bridge pier at about 65 mph. The car literally flew apart. The guy had
;*}to be shoveled up.
;*}
Again 80 MPH in the rain is reckless.
;*}A New Jersey motorist was going 90 mph on Shirley Highway in Arlington.
;*}He rear-ended another car that was going 55 in the middle lane. The gas
;*}tank exploded, the cars turned over, and three people got cremated.
;*}
yes folks you guessed it. Recklessness yet again. Now what would have
happened if the recless motorist had been simply speeding at say 66MPH?
;*}It's not worth it.
;*}
Reckless driving is never worth it.
