Even if he gains a few pennies from watching the video, it's worth the watch.

He tailgates the cop.  Closely. Very closely.  Claims he's under the speed limit so it was ok to do so.  And even if the cop is under the speed limit...you still don't tailgate a cop!!

In a followup video, he says the cop didn't show up at the trial so the ticket was dismissed.  But clearly he didn't learn his lesson, and even took the cop not showing up as justification for his driving!

In 2016, he's stopped again.

This time he's given a written warning...and again, uses that as justification that his behavior was ok.

Hence the "narcissism"  comments I put out in the other thread.  Seriously, the dude is convinced he can do no wrong.  It's intriguing to think that someone in the road community really has that level of delusional self assurance.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Mt. Everest is located in Illinois.

The speed limit is a maximum, not a minimum. There's no requirement that all traffic must drive the speed limit.

In the case of that second video, I can think of a number of reasons a driver might drive below the limit:

1.) Nighttime visibility issues.
2.) Weather-related visibility issues (the road was wet).
3.) Unfamiliarity with the area.
4.) Looking for a specific destination or street on which to turn.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

all of these thrown out.  I try not to do it now (PCS system will activate) , I just get around them when I can.

So you felt the need to get Cra_shIt to post more videos ... thanks!
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

Hmmmm...it better be enough money to make it worthwhile!  I'm not worried about the 18 cents he gets from each view.

I would be surprised if it was that high. Clicking an ad is on the order of 1 cent.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Youtubers wish they got that money. It's more like $1 per 1000 views.

According to Wikipedia, there's a peak called Mt. Cook. That must be where the name Cook County came from.

From where I'm sitting, looking at it right now, it is flat.

My area is much more scenic and terrain-diverse than Illinois can ever hope to be, but that would be the subject of another thread.  I didn't want to hijack the thread, but it's Friday, and I don't care, so why not?   :-D

Maybe we are all flat and we just think we are three dimensional?

Now you've gone ahead and given me something to think about all night while I'm at work.

as a delivery driver, i am frequently under the limit in some places due to #3 or #4, often in conjunction with #1 (poorly lit signs, houses, etc.)

myself, if i see i'm holding up traffic, i'll pull over and let people by. but i think i'd be a little rankled if this guy was flashing his lights behind me. but i also have a lit sign on top of my car, so i like to think people might cut me some slack seeing that.
