Correct. :)

Rest assured the leadfoot crowd will find a way to convince themselves
speeding had nothing to do with this or any of the other crashes you
mentioned.  Their self-serving mentality will continue until they
become a victim of someone with a like mentality... then the
transformation (assuming they've survived) will be something to
behold.  It won't be the first time that's happened.  And what's funny
about the whole thing is that when that time comes it's someone like
me they call to help them prove their case.

Life is a hoot.  No?

Keep the stories coming.

This is an interesting one.  The doper crowd will claim it was the
speed.  The speed crowd will claim it was the dope.   And the doper
speeders will self destruct in their attempt to find something else to
blame it on.

>His head got chopped off.
 
Several months ago I showed a couple of 15 year old boys some rather
graphic video tape of some crashes like the ones you've posted.  They
still talk about it to this day.
