Illegal or not, Nevada will send him to prison.

Just the other day, Nevada sentenced a truck driver who killed four cyclists to 40 years.

No license, passport only, so who owned the Lambo?


My guess it was rented.

Yes, pretty much, although being that low in a car like that might of sent the guy up in the air too.

I don't know where you could rent a Lambo without a valid drivers ID and proof of insurance. And definitely not if it was only out for a test drive.

Just did a search and to rent one it's in the neighborhood of about $500 per day.......

a Minnesota license plate

Even more suspicious since the accident was in Texas...I can't wait to hear a follow up on the Lambo and who owns it.....

I'm thinking cartel involvement but I've been wrong before.

It won’t be long until government steps in and restricts cars to 80 mph.

We came close to that back in the 80s, when by government edict, speedometers stopped at 85. The theory was that there's no incentive to go faster if you don't have the actual number to brag about at the bar. Proposals were floated to put governors on cars, but it never came to pass.

“We came close to that back in the 80s, when by government edict, speedometers stopped at 85.”

I didn’t know that, as I was overseas for most of the 80s.

I just figured crap American 1980s cars wouldn’t go any faster.

Sounds like decent song lyrics:

My Lamborghini does 141.
I whacked a moped, now my life’s done.

Crypto-currency guru, 33, was going 141mph in a 45MPH zone in Lamborghini in Las Vegas when he slammed into moped and killed its driver and has now been released on $750K bail

141 mph

How did they arrive at the speed so precisely? On board computer?

Can’t rent a car without a valid driver’s license.

1985 Rented Plymouth Reliant
Measured mile on Interstate 10 in Southern Cal.
Calculated at 110 mph with speedometer pinged well past that 85 mark. Car would not give me anymore speed.

Later in the trip I got it pinged about 10mph faster going down a very long hill. Fastest I have ever driven.

So based on this DM article there’s no indication that this guy was an illegal alien as, once again, so many here were quick to jump to that conclusion based on the guys last name. What a sorry lot FReepers have become.

Hammer hits nail squarely. Bicycles and mopeds belong on the shoulder and restricted to streets where the speed limit is 35 and under. There are a lot of deaths in Seattle. Of course the idiots put bike lanes on the left and right sides of one way streets. They get crunched by people making lefts AND rights. Usually by trucks, pickup and tractor trailers both.

Yeah, it’s kinda like a bicycle is considered a vehicle- until you hit one with a car and then suddenly they become a pedestrian.

There’s one in the neighborhood that every time I see it I yell BIKER GANG !!! Hide the Wimmin’ and Chillrens !!!

= = =

I suspect the aftermath looks kind of like that broom straw driven through a telephone pole, after a hurricane.
