speed: Sheriff

Posted By: earlybird, 4/7/2021 1:43:09 PM

Speed caused the rollover car crash that left Tiger Woods seriously injured, Los Angeles County authorities said Wednesday. The accident was also due to Woods' "inability to negotiate the curve of the roadway," Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at a news conference.Woods was driving at an estimated 84 to 87 mph during the Feb. 23 accident in Southern California, Villanueva said. Woods was driving in a 45 mph zone, according to The Associated Press.It's believed that Woods inadvertently hit the accelerator instead of the brake, Capt. James Powers said. The car was moving at 75 mph when Woods struck a tree, the sheriff said.

Comments:

He was hurrying. He was upset, not wanting to be late. He was going nearly twice the 45mph speed limit. The sheriff would have thrown the book at any of us…He is a celebrity.

"It's believed that Woods inadvertently hit the accelerator instead of the brake..." Many years ago when we were teenagers, my brother totaled his car (though thank God he was able to walk away from the wreck). He ran off the road and flipped his car. He tried to use that same excuse with my dad. It did not go well for him (to say the least). He was riding his bicycle everywhere until he was 20. Hopefully the judge will look beyond Tiger's "popular athlete privilege" and teach him a very valuable lesson (like my dad did for my brother -- who, thank God -- never had another wreck to this day)!!!!!

FTA - "Woods was speeding but the decision was made not to issue a citation, the sheriff said. No one witnessed the crash and Woods did not receive any special treatment from police, Villanueva said." Villanueva, you can call it what ever you want. In my language, Woods received special treatment by not being cited for speeding, careless driving, and not having his driver's license revoked. Meanwhile, his pro golf days are over as a result of his injuries.

Is it legal to cross the median and lose control of a vehicle? The physical evidence is overwhelming, and a guilty plea would be routine.

Woods was running late for an appointment recording golf tips, in a location he was not familiar with, in a loaner car he was not familiar with, on a road he was not familiar with. Perfect recipe for an accident.

they pulled out the biggest blanket in the closet to cover Tiger on this one. he nodded off and woke up as the vehicle was careening over the median and into the opposite lane. happens all the time. but the speed factor is substantial and, really, cannot be justified. at the least he should lose his license for 6-12 months but doubt that will happen.

All newer cars have electronic incident collection devices: AKA the"black box" The car knows how fast you were going, if you had your seat belt on, if and when the brakes were applied, were your hands on the wheel...all kinds of information. The black box would know exactly when the accelerator was engaged.

In the scheme of things, with Biden kow towing to the CCP, the far left cabal installed in the White House actually running the show and the nonsense that has ensued at the border because of Dementia Joe's EOs do we really need to get worked up about what did or didn't happen to Tiger Woods? I mean seriously, I just don't care.

You guys have to learn the proper new language. Calling Woods a celebrity, or saying he received special treatment because he has "popular athlete" status is just NOT gonna cut it anymore. Call him an ELITIST. That's about the worst thing anyone can be called nowadays. There are no acceptable excuses for being one and I'm sure in a social situation not a single soul would rise to his defense for fear of being branded w the E Word as well..

It may be easy to step on the accelerator instead of the brake, but a professional athlete should be able to recognize this before his vehicle gets to 85 miles an hour.

#12 may not care but I do. My brother and his family travel that street frequently going to and from their home. Someone said you couldn’t nail someone for what could have happened, but what could have happened quite easily on that usually busy street would have been a major tragedy. And I’m not talking about Tiger. I haven’t seen anyone “worked up” about this, but the realization that there are laws for us and for “them” is disheartening. And will he do it again somewhere? Hotheaded guy.

In the maelstrom spurred by lies about Georgia’s voting law, woke corporations again endeavored zealously to virtue signal for the Left. Echoing and acting upon the Left’s deliberate disinformation campaign—including, notably, President Biden’s infamous “Jim Crow on steroids” doggerel—Coke, Delta, Major League Baseball, and sundry others excoriated the Peach State’s new statutory liberalization of voting procedures. In an interesting twist, these “free-market” entities, which are often threatened with boycotts from the Left, demanded the cancellation of an entire state. Ostensibly, this spasm of woke corporate extortion was largely wrought by the requirement for voter ID. Curiously, this is a policy prescription supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans, including people

When Democrats took charge of the South after Reconstruction, they made racial discrimination the law of their part of the land. They passed Jim Crow laws to keep the black man down. Jim Crow died in 1964. LBJ killed him with the help of 27 of the 33 Republican senators who voted to end a filibuster by 22 Democrat senators from the South and Bob Byrd. 30 years after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- after the last white supremacist died -- Republicans began the long slog to political dominance. The South prospered. Unable to win an election on merit in the South, Democrats used the covid 19 crisis

Leftist ideologues from the Chicago school have a typical playbook they pull from. One of their strategies is to flood the zone of politics to create chaos that allows them to act under cover of the distracted nature of their plan. JoeBama turning his eye toward the Supreme Court while pushing COVID crisis, the Border crisis, promoting infrastructure and simultaneously advancing on the filibuster rule is classic Chicago, aka Alinsky. The deployment of a commission to study reform in the Supreme Court, while simultaneously having a plan to install Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (50) to replace Justice Stephen Bryer, now 82-years-old, is all part of that chaos approach.

It takes a very good writer to produce prose that prompts emotions a reader has experienced in an unconnected past. It also takes a good writer to subtly tip off the reader of the change in the character of the American people, one in which toughness has been replaced by weakness. Talleyrand once remarked that no one who had been born after the French Revolution could know how sweet life could be. Larry McMurtry wrote about life in small American towns in the ’50s, and the great American West in the late 19th century, and his writing evoked feelings that those born after those dates could perceive.

Joe Biden may have been something like a moderate, once. As a senator, he defended the Hyde Amendment, which protects pro-life taxpayers from footing the bill for something they consider to be murder. Senator Biden also voted for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) in 1993. Even as late as 2003, Biden voted for a bill to prohibit partial-birth and late-term abortion. Biden did indeed work with Republicans to pass legislation. In 1987, Biden condemned Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s scheme to pack the Supreme Court to support the New Deal. Alas, that Joe Biden is nowhere to be found in the White House.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is determined to root out “extremism” from the ranks of the military. He has just concluded a 60-day series of “listening sessions” dealing with the question of how he should go about the task of cleansing the armed forces of bad thoughts and is now ready to begin implementing programs and policies to that end. But Austin has a huge problem. He has to be able to define “extremism” in such a way as to safeguard our constitutional liberties while rooting out the skinheads, the Klan members, the gangbangers, and violent revolutionaries that make up a small but significant fraction of the armed forces. What is “extremism”?
