World renowned superhero Florida Man is up to his never-usual antics again, this clip mounting a caller velocity grounds — for really quickly you tin break a caller velocity law. As we antecedently reported, Florida has conscionable enacted caller penalties for alleged "super speeders," group driving 50 mph complete nan velocity limit aliases driving complete 100 mph "in a mode that threatens nan information of different persons aliases property." Uh, truthful conscionable thrust complete 100 successful a calm and respectable manner, then?

Well, this unnamed Florida Man conscionable couldn't negociate that, and what's more, he couldn't negociate it very, very quickly. Just 2 minutes aft midnight (the hands that frighten dooooom...) connected July 1, nan time the law went into effect, he was caught by nan Orange County Sheriffs doing 104 mph successful his Buick Envision. Oh no! Clearly, he was doing truthful successful a threatening manner, because they pulled him and his rider Florida Woman over. Just to really instrumentality it to him, the arresting serviceman moreover told him that nan rule was only a fewer minutes old. Ouch.

The caller ace speeder rule has been a fewer years successful nan makign. It was kicked disconnected by nan tragic decease of an 11-year-old boy successful nan authorities by a female driving 85 mph successful a 35-mph zone. For sidesplitting a child, she sewage simply a slap connected nan wrist: License suspended for 8 years, a $1,000 fine, and 120 hours of organization service. That's it, nary jailhouse time. Apparently successful America, accidental deaths are good arsenic agelong arsenic you do them pinch a car. Just inquire state vocalist Conner Smith.

So, upping penalties connected reckless driving makes a batch of sense, right? Maybe, possibly not. First off, this rule mightiness not moreover person applied to nan incident above, since nan driver whitethorn person been going 83 aliases 84 mph and frankincense wouldn't person qualified, arsenic it wouldn't person been complete 50 mph supra nan limit. Also, there's that weird "in a mode that threatens" provision, truthful again, driving bully and calm astatine precocious velocity is still okay I guess?

Possibly, this ace speeder rule is meant to beryllium a benignant of trading move, arsenic the sheriff office's Facebook video demonstrates. Get a mates of snazzy arrests, make immoderate splashy videos, hopefully spook nan bully group of Florida into driving successful a non-threatening manner.

None of this helps mediocre Florida Man, who was virtually put successful cuffs and hauled disconnected to nan constabulary station. All he wanted was to thrust insanely accelerated and endanger nan lives of each astir him! In America, is that really truthful wrong?
