55 Is Dangerous

These guys did something I always wanted to do on the highway. They arranged for 4 cars to parallel each other at the speed limit, 55mph. And they recorded the result on video. They’re a touch pretentious at the opening, but the payoff is hysterical.

Watch A Meditation On The Speed Limit.

Isn’t that a riot? I too have long had the urge to see what would happen if I tried that with a group.

Then again, in MA now and then the state cops do exactly that and call it a “rolling roadblock.” Exactly.

This sucked. I was caught behind three guys doing this ten years ago (also in Atlanta) and I have literally never been so angry in my life. These kids belong in prison. At one point, they caused an accident in which someone easily could have been killed.

They were not “obeying the law.” They were driving to endanger and conspiring to commit homicide (specifically manslaughter, which requires only reckless indifference to human life, not intent to kill). And then were smug and amused about it.

If I ever met one of these kids, including the women, I’d commit an assault and no one would convict me.
