OT Jadeveon Clowney gets another speeding ticket
Was clocked at going 84 miles per hour in a 55 mile an hour zone. Earlier this month Clowney had a speeding ticket for going 110 miles an hour in a 70 mile an hour zone. http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/eye-on-college-football/24387794/jadeveon-clowney-ticketed-for-speeding-again

Yeah, who cares if he speeds and then kills somebody.
December 26th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
Guy speeds on the roadway like he speeds through offensive lines, amirite?
December 26th, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^
but I laughed, so a +1 is demanded

ESPN will make it "Play of the Year."

Spurrier," hopefully they send him to driving school, after the bowl game.
December 26th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
That's a quick way to get 12 points on your license. Damn.

Teeheehee

That's stupid. I'll call the guy a Chicken Fucker right now.

Chop it's head off and it starts wigglin' around on there...

Strategically creating "character issues" in order to drop to a halfway decent team. Sadly, the trick's on him, the Lions will end up taking him.

84 in a 55 isn't unusual - just bad luck getting nailed. However 110 under any conditions is a whole different deal - that's really booking, and dangerous unless you're in the middle of the dessert.

Ahhhh dessert jokes.

They did predict a South Carolina win though.

It depends on what kind of road it was (e.g. I-95 is sometimes "55" but people go 80) but both are more than likely really reckless. Most people would be toying with losing their license right there (two counts of reckless driving in a month), Clowney I'm not so sure will get the same treatment

In Michigan, 84 in a 55 is a bit crazy.
December 26th, 2013 at 9:54 PM ^

The speed limit on I-75 is 70, not 55.
December 27th, 2013 at 1:18 AM ^
Isn't it briefly 55 right around where the Ambassador Bridge comes in?

I've gotten pulled over going 88 on M-57 on my way to Mt. Pleasant and I would say the average speed by most cars is well above the speed limit there. I've had people passing me while going 65, which is already 10 MPH over the posted limit.
December 27th, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
People normally drive 75-80 on the Lodge and parts of 94.

Coincidentally, my last ticket was for the same speed as Clowney's ticket. I was pulled over for doing 86 in a 55 zone on the highway, on empty roads in dry conditions. In IL, 30+ over the limit means the cop has to arrest you for reckless driving, can't just give you a ticket. However, if you ask him nicely and are polite to him through the pullover process, he may be willing to drop your speed down on the citation and give you the ticket for 84 in a 55 zone, so it's a big ticket at 29 over, but not an arrest. This is what happened with me.
Considering Clowney's ticket was for 84 in a 55 zone, I wonder if there is a similar law on the books about an arrest for 30 over the limit in the place he was pulled over, and the cop was doing him a favor by putting him at that speed on the citation. It wouldn't surprise me.
I have a severe leadfoot, but have gotten better with age and now that I'm a dad. In my 16 years of driving motor vehicles, I've been pulled over about 30-odd times, but only received maybe a dozen tickets. I have a pretty decent success rate at talking my way out of them, or in the case of the two times I talked it down to 29 over (the other time I was doing 88 in a 55), talking myself out of getting arrested.

I only speed like a lunatic on highways. On surface streets I keep it to < 5 over the limit 95% of the time. I also always use my turn signal, keep 2 hands on the wheel, don't tailgate, and don't cut people off or weave in packed traffic. I just like to get where I am going as fast as possible so if the road is open I will take it as fast as I can. I've done 120 on open highway before on empty roads. I made the drive from my childhood home in Deerfield IL to my student apartment in Ann Arbor, a distance of 267 miles, in 2 hours and 50 minutes of driving time once. It was from 2-5 in the morning and the road was completely empty.

1st round talent has to understand that the rules don't apply to them.

Great Scott that's fast!

In his defense though, he still got to see that serious shit Doc Brown was talking about
December 26th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
