NJ Gov Corzine - "sorry for being a bad examle"

Gov Corzine is out of the hospital. Upon leaving he apologized for not wearing his seat belt.

Geee, that's nice and all ... but what about apologizing for going OVER 90 MPH on the Garden State Parkway? Geeeeeeeze !! From what I understand he wasn't driving, but still ... his vehicle was going over 90 MPH on the Garden State, which was illegal to do. He was a threat on the road to all the other drivers.

And then, he left the hospital:

Speedy recovery

No one in the motorcade used emergency lights, as his driver had been doing at the time of the accident. They kept to a pace of about 70 miles per hour, even though the posted limit is 55 on the stretch of Interstate 295 that leads to Drumthwacket, the governor’s official mansion in Princeton, where Mr. Corzine will spend the next stage of his recovery.

Fine example!

No one else thinks this guy is a weenie? I'm shocked.
No one wants to comment on the fact that he was going over 90 MPH
to the IMUS meeting when he crashed? He put everyone on the
Garden State Parkway in danger ... just to get to the IMUS meeting.

oh well...

the driver was a state trooper that was doing 90 Corsine wasn't wearing his seat belt and in a two car motorcade wouldn't Corsines car be following the lead car..Corsine should be ticketed as well as the trooper. PAY UP BOYS!!!

How many of you have actually driven in NJ?

From my experience driving there practically no one follows the traffic laws especially the speed limit.

I was thinking the exact same thing about driving in NJ.

Still, it's not right and anyone in a position of power should be setting an example, not taking advantage of what they can get away with.

I do all the time. We take the Garden State Parkway a bunch as well. It is
INSANE to drive over 90 MPH on that road. INSANE. That's a serious risk to the other drivers.

Not to mention the fact that there was no need for it. He was late to an
IMUS meeting. So what? It's not like he was on his way to the hospital
or something. It was a stupid meeting and it was his own fault that he
was running late.

Poor time management.
Extremely poor judgement driving that fast on that road.

AND ... as was pointed out .. he didn't learn a darn thing... the SPED away
from the hospital when he was released. He broke the speed limit, in a
big way, again. :shk:
