Just for your information, there are no interstate highways in Alaska. Most of the roads have only two lanes, are narrow, curvy, have frost heaves, potholes etc,,, and are very congested and dangerous. (Especially the Seward Highway.)
Nitpicking my post, you missed the point.
We know she was driving 84 mph in a 65 mph zone.
You've never done that?
Not on most of the roads in Alaska. If I were you, I would go there and learn something about the place.
I lived there 20 years and still have close friends there who I visit yearly. I have a pretty good handle on what I am talking about.
“We know she was driving 84 mph in a 65 mph zone.”
In NC, you automatically lose your license if caught do more than 15 MPH over the posted speed limit. So if you’re doing 84 on a 65 MPH (which on a clear day and in light traffic doesn’t strike me as all that dangerous), you lose your license. Automatic. No questions asked. Of course, this law has spawned a cottage industry of lawyers who will, for a few hundred dollars (and perhaps 5 minutes of their time in court) “plea bargain” your case down to “reckless driving” or some similar offense. You still pay a fine, the lawyer pockets a fat fee, but you don’t lose your license. Pardon me for considering this an absurd racket.
The point being that if Alaska were as stupid as NC, Willow would have lost her license for this little drive on the wild side.
