What possible reason could a Governor have for that kind of driving? States don’t deal in urgent emergencies that require the presence of a Governor. If they ever did, this modern era of communications had utterly ended the need to drive like an ass.
Even though State police driving the Governor think they are bulletproof and ten feet tall, they are sharing the roads with unpredictable 17 year old girls, pedestrians, the elderly who turn up where you don’t expect them going 20 below the speed limit, and others who don’t realize they are sharing the road with a celebrity VIP.
We had a local Chief Popo who had his “driver” speed to the airport with the full Monte lights and siren to help out his (and your) Superior.

On that stretch of US 20, 90mph is a perfectly safe speed. Dead straight, 4 lane divided, controlled access, very light traffic.
