Here in SD our former govenor and now
congressman was doing 71 mph on a county
road with a posted speed limit of 55. He went
through a stop sign and ran into a motorcyle
and killed the gentleman. He was not arrested
at the scene, it took close to 2 weeks before
charges of speeding, failure to stop, reckless
driving and manslaughter were brought
against him. He pleaded not guilty in his first
court appearance and is out on personal
bond. In the past he has gotten a number of
speeding tickets, changed the law when
govenor so that speeding doesn't add points
to your driving record, had a number of
accidents, had flashing red lights installed on
his vehicles so he could speed without getting
pulled over. Last summer he joked about his
driving record when he was running for
congress. It will be interesting to see how he
gets out of it. All of us tax payers will pay for
the civil lawsuit which is a certanty. He was on
goverment business when this happened.
There is some law that says they are not
liable when on gov. business.
