Will he cut a check to New Jersey for the amount of that fine?
Badda Bing...
Does your story involve the words “truckstop” or “bookstore”?
Call the WH Press offcie and ask.
Was he walking on the beach, or walking at a truck stop?
The Kennedys would certainly agree with you. Particularly Teddy, the DUI, vehicular homocide, leaving the scene, obstruction of justice, and perjury guy who got a life sentence in the United States Senate serving the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts.
Hope he’s fined $150-$200 for not clicking it given that politicians have pushed the seatbelt laws to the limit on we consumers.
Payback time for buying the governorship.
"as usual" = corruption, as usual.
“Corzine was the third straight New Jersey governor to break a leg while in office.”
HMMM is right! Maybe they should give up politics for the stage!
Red pick up, red pick up....guess the prime suspects are Fred Thompson and Janet Reno.
Corzine didn't suffer any burns, so that rules out Reno.
Corzine is ABOVE the LITTLE PEOPLE and the LAW.
“Corzine, a Democrat who gave up his seat in the U.S. Senate to become governor, went into politics after being ousted from Goldman Sachs, where he had been CEO, in a power dispute in 1999.”
The honest to God truth is he was “ousted” because he IS a shyster and BLACK BALLED on Wall Street. NO ONE would hire him because of that - and THAT is the truth. He is a SCUM BAG.
That one is just too easy ;)
I would bet you dollars to donuts that President Bush does not wear his seatbelt when he is being chauffeured around.
According to Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), fatalities per 100 Million, went down from 2.4 in 1987 (pre seat belt law) to only 1.47 in 2005. I would have expected a bigger drop considering the number of states with Seat Belt laws.
Well, there was a state trooper IN THE CAR, and probably a blinking “passenger not wearing seat belt” light flashing at him all during the trip.
So first of all, he obviously didn’t do everything he could to avoid the tragedy, he could have done what I do whenever there’s a person in my car — looked at him and said “this car’s not going anywhere until that stupid blinking light is off”.
Second, who gets the fine if you are in a car without a seat belt? I think it’s the driver, not the passenger. If so, the DRIVER (the state trooper) is at fault, and should get the ticket.
The other thing that seemed contradictory or at least unclear from the article was about the red truck. First, they said the “red truck was driving irradictally”.
Then they said it pulled onto the road from the shoulder.
I suppose this could mean that the red truck had driven onto the shoulder and then swerved back, but if so I would think they would say that. Instead, it sounds like it was parked on the shoulder, and then started up and pulled into the road.
In which case how would another driver at the scene know it was “driving iractically” (I wish I could remember how to spell that now).
I’m betting he’s not in the front seat.
