“I went off the road 10 years ago and wrecked my car. I was cited for failure to control and I was the only car involved and no one saw it.”

Yeah, this seems odd to me also. They have the speed recorded, but maybe they can’t give a speeding ticket unless they recorded speeding as it happened. But careless driving or failure to control seems called for. Maybe they figure he’ll just get a lawyer and appeal it forever.

He’s very lucky he didn’t kill anyone driving/riding/walking while crossing the median and opposite lanes at 83 mph.

I think we should all be considering buying one of these Genesis SUV’s. The fact that he survived a 75-85 mph impact with a tree is a testament to the design/safety systems of this automobile.

“They have the speed recorded”

You mean a “black box” in the new cars? That’s as intrusive as recording your mileage to determine your road tax as Buttgieg proposes.
