No jailtime, but DMW will revoke license, more than likely.

Anyone notice the driver is only 23 years old. That is not saying that a 23 year old can't handle fast driving but how does a 23 year old get his hands on that kind of car.

CA has "exhibition of speed" laws. Anything in triple digits = immediate impound.

I'm calling BS.

I know that section of 73 really well, it's in Orange County, and a toll road that isn't much travelled.

1:30am in the morning, he was probably the only car at all, on the beautiful 4 lane freeway, new, well banked and empty for miles ahead, and how temptation got to him.


Reason I understand well that temptation (not defending it) and have got the speeding tickets to prove it, is that I have driven it myself multiple times early in the am, getting from SD to the 55 and up past Anaheim.

They just laid off 100 state troopers here a few weeks ago because the cops with seniority voted to lay off 100 younger troopers rather than take SIX DAYS without pay. Talk about greedy......
