He said he's in a hurry. I don't think it's that much of a big deal but he's gonna hear from Larry for sure. It is definitely stupid but at least it is not drugs.

He was going 107 in a 65 on US19 during the afternoon, and apparently "several drivers" called 911 to report him.

I would imagine, especially knowing that area of Atlanta and it's afternoon traffic, that he wasn't nearly alone on the road. I would imagine that he was weaving pretty heavily and barely avoiding clipping traffic. I would imagine it's the most dangerous kind of driving.

But yes. It's driving. And he wasn't under the influence, nor in the possession of anything. It's a very stupid thing. Not one that gets him waived, but it's bad press nonetheless.


It all about timing and location. The fact he was weaving through traffic is unsettling.

Timing was listed as "afternoon". Location was listed as a 65 mph area in Alpharetta GA. That's just barely outside Atlanta, and it's almost always packed, day or night. When it's not packed, it's still heavily congested. There's no way to hit 107 there without some serious swerving and dangerous driving.
