Here in SD our former govenor and now congressman was doing 71 mph on a county road with a posted speed limit of 55. He went through a stop sign and ran into a motorcyle and killed the gentleman. He was not arrested at the scene, it took close to 2 weeks before charges of speeding, failure to stop, reckless driving and manslaughter were brought against him. He pleaded not guilty in his first court appearance and is out on personal bond. In the past he has gotten a number of speeding tickets, changed the law when govenor so that speeding doesn't add points to your driving record, had a number of accidents, had flashing red lights installed on his vehicles so he could speed without getting pulled over. Last summer he joked about his driving record when he was running for congress. It will be interesting to see how he gets out of it. All of us tax payers will pay for the civil lawsuit which is a certanty. He was on goverment business when this happened. There is some law that says they are not liable when on gov. business.
