Puig Arrested

[Amazing Larry]

I hit 115 on the start of the 55. It was early on a Sunday and there was literally nobody else on the freeway. The car began to "float" outside of the lane so I let off the accelerator. Most cars aren't very well controlled at high speeds. I was young and dumb. I wouldn't do something like that nowadays.

I hit close to 110 on the 10 driving from texas back to cali. I was driving for 20 hours straight though and of course I didn't stay at 110. I slowed back down to under 100.

Never knew I could get arrested for that.

 

The speed limit was 85 though.

I hit 110 on the 15 past Baker just to see how fast I could push my 99 Altima.

The only ticket I have ever received was for going 95 in a 65 in Arizona. I wasn't cruising at that speed (and never would cruise anywhere near that speed) but was on a one-lane road that had opened up a passing lane. I was passing a few semi trucks, and would have gone right back to 70 after doing so. Problem is, I just happened to drive by a cop right as my vehicle peaked at 95.

I got a misdameanor for it. Thankfully the judge of this county ripped up your ticket if you attended traffic school. Going that fast just isn't worth it. It is an incredibly selfish act that can hurt/kill others. Hopefully they throw the book at Puig (they won't).

Puig was going to get off with a warning until he threw his license and registration over the officer's head.

Lol at the Puig attacks. Dude was on a highway out in the middle of no where. No different than speeding on the 10 heading to AZ or 15 to Vegas. Not a big deal at all. He wasn't drinking or on drugs. Let it go

[Troll Daddy]

Typical self righteous bullchit you see on the internet.

Obviously few here haven't been in a new Mercedes at 110 mph. It feels a lot like 60 mph in your clunker.

FYI I don't condone speeding.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Jesus Christ.

The dude was speeding, not on some coke and booze bender with a bunch of automatic weapons.

yeah, I dislike puig as much as everyone on here, but my two cents on this is that he's acting like a lot of 22 year olds. Especially ones with money.

Not at all condoning it. And I agree the potential to have hurt others is very real. Maybe I was just a bit let down by the title and what it was I guess. I was hoping he got caught up in the eddie murphy sting so I could forward the story to my dodger fan buddies.

As long as he wasn't drunk it's perfectly fine.

That's pretty much my point. 

 

Part of speeding effectively is doing it so you don't get injured, cited, or arrested.  Puig is so stupid he's let it happen twice in the same year.

So did Mathis, for like ten minutes.

The drive to Vegas can get interesting. I hit 155 (downhill) in a car that was essentially a rocket with a seat. Couldn't corner for shit, but had tremendous 'go straight' power/speed

[mancini79]

I've hit 110 a handful of times driving on the 5 from the Grapevine to Bakersfield. I would have gone faster if not for the governor. There would be nobody on the road and I would just listen to music not realizing how fast I was driving. Of course I was the only one in the car. But now I rarely go over 85mph.

[Inside Pitch]

Yeah, I was pretty much a lead-foot in my 20s and 110 MPH was pretty easy to hit in an RX-7 on the way to Vegas .  Heck, you could hit 105 at 7500 RPM in 3rd gear.  Wankels rule...  

 

I can't imagine driving 110 on the I-95 at the time he supposedly did... 

[Inside Pitch]

When I was in high school I was driving alone on the 23 fwy in Simi Valley. The road was empty and I was in a 64 Cadillac. I gunned it and hit 105. Scared the day lights out of me.

 

LOL -- that had to be terrifying.  I can't even imagine a car that size going 105.   You sir were a brave soul.

You're trying too hard.  I don't doubt the cops.

LOL, tell that the the 5 teens who were speeding on Jamboree Road in Newport Beach on Memorial Day, ......oh wait they are all dead.  Speed was the reason, no drinking or drugs involved.

[tomsred]

The story gets worse. He was also arrested in April for going 97 in a 50 mph zone. Grow up Puig!

That fwy was so empty at night that I even considered -briefly- turning my car around and driving in reverse just to see what would happen.

When you're sixteen, stupid, and full of hormones, all kinds of ideas enter your brain. Glad I never acted on that one.

Seeing a 64 Caddy going all out in reverse would be pretty much a pay per view event.

Corvette?

Less steerability; Camaro SS
