| Now we know why there weren't charges filed, eh? Apparently, speed limits, like seatbelts, are for the Little People™ |

| #8 In my previous post I should have mentioned that I'm referring to off hours travel, otherwise you'll be lucky to do 30 or 40 on some stretches if you move at all. |

| #7 For those of you not from NJ, both the Garden State Pkwy & the Turnpike are race tracks. The rule of thumb appears to be maintain a lane, don't exceed 80 and you're ok. I've gone through many a speed trap on both of those roads doing 80. Weaving is the one they get you for. Still no surprises in this story, I've been doing 80 and have had state vehicles of all sorts pass me like I'm standing still, especially troopers. |

| #5 I remember laughing years ago when I first heard the joke that the most dangerous place in the world to stand was between Jesse Jackson and a TV camera. In this case, Corzine actually did endanger lives to get his mug on TV. The mind reels. |

| #4 Corzine bought himself the governership. I'm sure he can buy his way out of this one. Unlike Kennedy, he didn't hurt anyone but himself. |

| #3 This whole incident has stunk from day one. If Corzine's speeding triggered this disaster he should face jail time. Each new revelation only further entrenches a "do as I say and not as I do" message. |

| #2 and where was he going that was such an emergency? A chance for facetime during the Rutgers/Imus apologia stop. *Retch* |

| #1 The state trooper-driven sport utility vehicle was in the left lane with its emergency lights flashing when a pickup tried to get out of its way. Instead, it set off a chain reaction that resulted in the crash. Does this mean they're liable for all damages? Cue Lawyers... |
