#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...

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

#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.

#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.

#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.

#6 don't discount Chuck Schumer running you down for TV camera face time - serious TV whore.

#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.

#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.
