ND Highway Patrol still has an Indian on its logo.
Their state name, Dakota, is the name of an Indian tribe.
the speed limit was 52 miles per hour- he was only gonna be out for 1/2 hour, so he wasn’;t speeding
Would guess he had a tail wind if driving south.
Too fast to live ,too young to die
No Juuls or ‘smoking paraphernalia’ found under the back seat?
If was zero visibility,
how could ya see em to give em a ticket?
Huh?
104 mph on a snowy road with zero visibility? That’s a death wish even without other cars on the road.
Highly likely snow plows were on the highway somewhere there.
O-kay.
Wanted to get home fast. Before he could have an accident
In defense, how does one know an interstate is closed?
In the mid eighties, I was driving a 18 wheeler in W Texas during ice and snow coming down. In my radio range, there were three of us (18’s) rolling west at a low speed. One guy ahead of two of us increased his speed and said it wasn’t slick (I think he was a freight hauler) and he crashed on a bridge in Cisco (my coffee stop). Drank my coffee and waited for the fire department guys to come in and debrief of the driver they pulled out.
Went on and only real trouble was the west side of Sweetwater, where I used both shoulders to get up a hill.
Unloaded in the early AM and drove back east…took a handful of pics from my windshield of all the crashes on the interstate I earlier drove that was “closed”.
No one told me it was closed.
Oh Jeez, I'm Jerry Lundegaard, Gustafson Motors, just trying to cooperate here!
Did that guy die?
