Lawsuit claims driver was drunk, having sex, traveling at 85 mph
Paragraph 10. “At the time of the collision, Defendant was going 85 miles per hour.”

Paragraph 12. “At the time of the collision, Defendant was having sex with a female.”

Paragraph13. “At the time of the collision, Defendant was driving admittedly drunk.”

Paragraph 14. “At the time of the accident, Defendant was partially or totally in the backseat of the car.”

Wait, WHA? 85 miles per hour? The backseat? And what happened to paragraph 11?

1. Huh? There is actually somewhere on the beltway that you can hit 85??
I'm lucky if I can get up to 45 on the beltway.

:wtf:

2. I could see that near Telegraph Rd. Certainly not in the 7 turns by the Disney castle.
Trust me, I've tried. You can hit that for a brief period, but not sustained - and it makes the next turn a knuckle-whitener.

What I don't get is the "partially in the back seat" - cruise control on?

4. "partially in the back seat" I thought everyone had one of these in their cars
for just such an occasion.

3. Yeah, early Saturday and Sunday mornings
When I go out hiking around Potomac, MD, I take the beltway and it's always pretty empty early in the morning on weekends.

9. In my limited experience, attainable beltway speeds depend on the time of day
At what is considered rush hour in the rest of the US, the beltway resembles the world's largest parking lot. Outside rush hour during normal awake time, everyone drives bumper-to-bumper at limit+15 mph, except when they crash and snarl up traffic. The rest of the time, one might actually hit 85 on the beltway, if one didn't get run over first by folks in a hurry
