Well, the driver was not smart enough nor man enough to accept responsibility for his own actions, for violating the posted speed limit, and tried to lie his way out of it.
So, yes. I still think he would flee the scene of an accident, if he thought he could get away with it.
There you go again being hypothetical. The posted speed limit was 65 with a 40 MPH zone approaching as the officer pulled over. We don’t know the facts before the 40MPH zoned sign. For all we know that was the speed limit from that point forward and there was no clocked speed.
Ticket will be thrown out nonetheless. These armed highway robbers are being taken to task - rightfully so.
Your point was you thought this fellow would run over a construction worker and keep going.
What’s more: how do you know that the cop wasn’t lying about the sign? Or that it was visible? And didn’t the fellow admit to travelling above the speed limit?
