she's completely at fault? cause someone else was driving like an asshat and his tire messed up? she didn't even see it coming, yea she should've buckled up, but wow, it's HER fault now?

Hold on. I don't think he was going "so fast".

If you were merging at 65 mph and you said (I quote): "and I see a motorcycle, so I say, 'gee, let's watch out for him' ". Was the motorcycle speeding too?





I had already been merged, I was just noting that I was aware of my surroundings. 80 mph = 25 mph over the speed limit. TOO fast.



I don't get you CEG, someone posts about going 65 in a 55 and getting a ticket for it, and they're criminals cause they were speeding, and they could've caused an accident and blah blah blah. yet someone's going 80 in a 55 and is responsible for someone's death, and he's not sucha bad guy? gimme a break here.

the rest of traffic was going 60-65 along with me, and he was just flying by everyone. I don't even have the energy to respond to a lot of these points, but I just want to say I disagree and think this guy should be responsible. I remember hearing so many times here that if you're speeding, you should be willing to deal with the consequences (usually referring to tickets), but now you've all had a change of heart, and it baffles me



i always drive 10 to 15 miles over the speed limit in perfect weather ive had tires blown out at various speeds in various cars not all mine and im here till this day thank god and i have not hit no one else. i feel comfertable going 80 in my car i always physically look to the left or right before changing lanes to actually see with my eyes if a car is next to me i always drive about 25 feet away from someone when im speeding and try to look ahead for signs of someone slowing down. dont blame speed blame not knowing what to do. when something goes down i let go off the gas have both hands on the wheel keep it steady and slow down if i can i swear out of the way. then again i do have alot of non stock parts in my car and my car has lowered hard suspension. its stupid to blame someone for speeding and having a tire blown out. ive had tire blow outs going 30 mph. the blame should go to the lame driving requirements set by the states. on the autoban you can go crazy fast and they have less accidents per year than we over here and we drive slower.
