I’m certainly not a lawyer. Is this true? Now they didn’t charge him with reckless…. Wonder if that’s after the incident they figured out who he was and wanted to minimize the situation? Where did the 100mph rumor come from ? If you Google it there are some sketchy articles out there saying so but it’s now known they didn’t measure his speed…. Someone earlier theorized they lowered it to 60 because it’s easier to prove?
