> [@JayS](#): > > 200 on a pubic road, hopefully the car gets auctioned off while the driver is stuck in jail. my gut reaction would be the same, but there IS something to be said for doing insanely stupid things in a “smart” / “safe’r” manner - which is the case here. I’m not condoning it, but its not like this was on the 400 @ 8pm. ---

I’m not condoning it, but its not like this was on the 400 @ 8pm. Yeah, I didn’t notice the desert background at first, so I can’t really judge the level of stupidity. No problems with you doing 200 on an empty desert road with clear sightlines. At the same time, I’ve seen enough gumball footage with them driving like complete asshats in traffic to doubt the road being empty. ---

ever been to North Dakota? I have, its empty, really empty. Somehow I got pulled over though, in the middle of now where, doing an apparent 89 in a 75 zone…long story but I wasn’t going that fast, the radar gun said 88, 70 dollar ticket. …in his defense about a half hour earlier I did go 140 🙂 It was bugging me the whole trip, I came up a hill, to a long plateau, nothing for miles, I punched it. ---
