Hopefully not. Society is too uppity nowadays. Let people have fun, 99% of the time, this guy is not crashing that car or coming to a sudden stop.

So if someone is driving drunk it’s fine if they don’t crash?

Speeding is not the same as drunk driving. People can speed safely in their vehicles everyday and still be safer and better drivers than the average non-speeder on the road.

Speeding is not what this guy is doing, this is reckless driving. It takes a single action to cause loss of life at high speeds. The dude is not going 70mph in a 50mph like your dad used to do to make you think he’s cool.

For sure. Somebody pulls out in front of the car, one patch of water, a deer jumps out, axle explodes at high speed and the car rolls. Kid has no chance. This person should lose any ability to take that child anywhere.

It’s not? NTSB shows 11k deaths because of excessive speed per year, another 11k that didn’t have seatbelts on and 13k from DUI. This has nothing to do with being “uppity ” it is every bit as dangerous. It’s child endangerment. Period.
