REPORT: DJ Moore in trouble with the law

[Newtcase]

DJ sped, got caught, will go through our judicial system.  End of story.  Was is socially irresponsible? Sure.  Do we charge people with all the possible outcomes of their crime?  No, but he was certainly charged with reckless driving as well, a charge considerate of the public danger associated with the violation.  Whether the charges are reduced or he's convicted are a matter for the prosecutor and the court, as his guilt seems beyond doubt.  If his driving history is clean, it will likely be reduced to unsafe movement and a reduction in the speed violation.  That's an ordinary outcome for this type of violation.

Just took 77 to work and the speed limit in the work zone is 55mph. Today's average TRAFFIC speed 77mph. I was going 65-70mph and the drivers in left lane were passing me consistently.

Maybe some people should go to city hall about this. I believe they have an open forum next Wednesday 5pm-10pm

 

You just perjured yourself, you know.

News flash: safest speed to go on the highway is with the flow of traffic. If everyone’s passing you, chances are you’re being a hazard and going too slow.

It was reported on WBTV news tonight that Rivera has invited Doug Herbert, a former drag racer, to talk to the team because of DJ's speeding. I can't find the story online tonight but here is a story about Herbert's BRAKES initiative. Herbert's 2 sons died in a car accident caused by speeding in 2015.

I'd argue that texters are far more dangerous than speeders. Look around Charlotte at all the stuff getting demolished at roadsides. Signs, trees, fences, light poles, houses. Nothing on the roadside safe. Charlotte has a huge problem with people driving slow in the left lane on streets that are actually highways like WT Harris going 40mph in a 55mph zone. These idiots CAUSE more accidents from people trying to actually go the speed limit trying to get around them. I'll take the speeders over those fools anyday.

People do both at the same time. It's not separate distinct groups you get to choose from.

Smh. You missed the point entirely l, unless this is a joke.

I have it on good authority that Luke drives 5 under the limit at all times
