News: TS: New Details Emerge From Sam Williams' Car Accident; 98mph in 55mph zone

[Twin928]

Awesome. Another 2nd rounder with issues.

These second round picks from this organisation is cursed like the blue jerseys

That's because he wasn't, you can bet your bottom dollar the police checked for that the day of the accident. Both drivers.


That's because they didn't know how fast he was going. There was no one there with a speed laser on him when it happened. They had to measure the skid marks, talk to witnesses including him, and then make a determination. They couldn't charge him with reckless driving until they made that determination. If he had not been speeding the other driver would have got the ticket. He was speeding, he caused the accident, he got the ticket, end of story.


So? There can be 20 on it and it still only amounts to a young man doing something dumb with his new toy. No one was killed, no one was seriously injured, two cars got totaled and he got a ticket. that is all. Calling it "dark" and thinking there is more to it is silly and hyperbolic.

They know the speed because the black box tells them the exact speed.

Wait a minute, he was NOT DRINKING. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Ooops, memory problems on me!!!!!

Guess I gotta go w/ driving that fast is just stupid.

Nah, it only gives them an average. Says so in the news report. That and skid mark measurements are accurate enough to make the ticket stick.

It is, it's just not the worst thing anyone has ever done, which is what some people seem to think.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

Yeah. I'm not touching none of that.

I should leave it alone, just hate seeing people make this kid out to be a demon.

I do agree w/ you, BTW.

He's just young and dumb. The important part is that he's hopefully learned his lesson.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

The important part is that he's hopefully learned his lesson.

Yeah, hopefully so. Knock on wood, I have had one wreck and that was around 40 years ago. I did something dumb too, made a U-Turn when I shouldn't have, but it made me drive much more carefully afterwards. Hopefully this makes Williams much more careful too.

 

[KJJ]

LOL, I see there is something "dark and troubling" in your past because of your driving. Glass houses and all that, ya' know.

You keep making this personal and I’ll be hitting the report button.

 

[MyFairLady]

What a dumb ***.

 

[conner01]

Thankfully Noone was hurt and hopefully the kid learned a valuable lesson

And we already knew he was driving at a high rate of spied. He did something stupid that most all of us has done. The key is does he learn from it?

 

[conner01]

You think a guy like Brett farve never sped before? Sit down somewhere

No one has accused Brett Favre of being smart?
He scammed a ton of money and got caught

 

[Aftershock]

That's quite an imagination you have there.

Yeah, I know, she didn't die, she wasn't even seriously injured. No one said it's ok, it's just not like he murdered someone or beat his wife. He didn't even shop lift panties. Don't act like the guy is John Dillinger. The repercussions for driving recklessly in this case is a traffic fine.

My issue is why risk going double the speed limit after what happened to Henry? Why risk your career to save 5 minutes to get to your destination? Is it worth losing millions?

I never said he deserves to go to prison for this.

 

[conner01]

He's young in a fast car. I had a few fast cars in my 20s, and believe me, I did my fair share of stupid things. Just be thankful nobody got hurt and hope that this is a lesson to him.

Some of you in here acting like you were never young and naïve. lol

I’ve certainly done the same thing and I suspect most here have or have done something just as dumb

Understood. I am disappointed that the event happened but extremely grateful no one, including Williams, was hurt.

I have worked in hospitals for over three decades. Witnessed the aftermath of people involving in horrific collisions. Car/Car. Car/Truck. Car/18 wheeler. Car/Tree. Truck/Train. Van/Train. Motorcycle/18 wheeler. Cars/pedestrians. Too much crap that cannot be unseen. It puts Williams' event in proper perspective for me.

 

[Sydla]

Nah, it only gives them an average. Says so in the news report. That and skid mark measurements are accurate enough to make the ticket stick.

Another article said they had the exact speed at time of accident. Black boxes collect data like the speed upon impact/deployment of air bags. My buddy works for GM and verified this.

 

[JustChip]

Glad everyone is OK, for the rate of speed Sam was traveling. Nowhere on Preston should you even think about hitting close to 100. Sheesh Sam. Rookie don't need that type of car, go ahead and get a F150 and chill out.

Yep, this could’ve been another Josh Brent incident.

But it had nothing to do with being a Vette. You can go 100 in an F150. Heck, you can go 100 in any vehicle except maybe a Yugo. And even one of them did 100 on the way down to water when blown off the Mackinac Bridge.

 

[Londonboy]

I know a lot of people are excited about Sam Williams and what he may be in the future. I am not one of those people. I think it's likely the Cowboys just replaced Randy Gregory with a younger version.

From smoking weed to smoking tyres.

Maybe not the best example.

LOL, you are the one who has something "dark and troubling" to hide, so go right ahead Mr. I don't practice what I preach.
