I drive fast, but I don't ever go over 80 out of respect for my passengers.

Does anyone know whatever became of the guy who was injured?

I did kiss the ground when I stepped out of the car.

I heard from other slugs that the person was notorius for fast driving and crashed his car several weeks later and no longer picked up slugs.

Hardly - the local press is afraid to touch stuff like this. May be in 2 years...

He won't... Justice is given to those that can afford it. He's got money. I forsee a slap on the wrist and some anger management classes at the most.

But regardless, what a wacko to do something like that.



His bio page says "On administrative leave"...

Same name and on leave due to a misconduct investigation seem to be too many coincidences...

OP, can you confirm the pic on the bio page?

-------------------------
Times to beat:
Horner Rd to/from Pentagon: 12 mins Without Slugs - 17 mins With slugs
Dale City exit to/from 3rd St Tunnel, D.C. 18 mins (No slugs - Holiday)
