#1 New Year's Day, huh? If he had waited a couple of days he could have claimed they were not bombs, but pyrotechnic snow removal devices..... But way to go, and not attract attention; 85 in a 70. whatamarroon...

Mathematically speaking, if you are worried about a 'workplace accident' in a car full of (non-OSHA approved) bombs, you want to drive as fast as possible to minimize the time spent in the vicinity of aforesaid bombs... aw, what am I sayin'? The guy is a maroon. 15 over? Srsly? Might as well get a flashing Miscreant Onboard sign.

Please be honest, do I really look like someone who needs to be locked away ?

Yeah but on that stretch of I70, the reason he got noticed by the troopers was he was impeding the traffic flow. Practicing for Indy no doubt.

#6 Gort.
I live in Michigan and am frequently in IN. Comparatively, the Hoosiers are considerably more restrained as to speed. Not sure whether it's something in the water or because of more enthusiastic enforcement.
As cars move up or back, change lanes, or positions relative to one another, it looks like a slow-motion dance--because the relative speeds are so similar--compared to MI.
Nevertheless, fifteen over gets everybody's attention.
The drug transporters are pretty clear that you don't do that. Some people should be making an extra effort to avoid attention.

#9 Just occurred to me that a quick political operative could gin up a fake LinkedIn page pretty quickly and sew all sorts of confusion if they wanted to. LinkedIn would certainly know when the page was put up, but it would be nice if there was some date on the page. I mean the guy has only one connection.

#10 And 15 miles over the speed limit is not always such a big deal. I used to drive 80 on the I-5 when the speed limit was 55 and I was just going with the flow of traffic most of the time.

#11 At #9.

Exactly why social media is so dangerous, and why our gov't is pouring millions into it.
