    I spent sometime exploring for slow orders issued for that curve, I did not find any. Not that they will be published information anyhow. If that curve was a 30 mph stretch and the engineer ran it through at 80, then it's going to be blamed on the engineer.

    I just read one New York Post article that said he was running 80 in a 30. They will nail him if so.

    In truth I am not a person like this. If it were true, yes I'd go after it. Most cases are not and it is cheaper for insurance to settle rather than risk a larger payout. While this does give some people a golden ticket if you will....all it does is make insurance more expensive for everyone else. It is an abuse of the system. I don't agree with how the system works for every case...but that is a separate discussion. Abusing it is not the answer (to me).
