    Don't be silly. You can end your career speeding and getting into an accident even if its not our fault.

    Yea couple months ago coming down 95 central va fall out to pass averitt seen truck coming up 3/4 to mile back. Ease up to 70 before I get door to door with averitt he's on my bumper had to be doing 85 or better. See truck coming out to play key mike tell him to hold up be out the way in a minute. Apply pressure to big pedal run up about 83.hit right lane about 6-7 mile later can't even see taillight.
