55 mph might feel slow on a real flat highway in Ohio. But on normal highways, it's a good speed limit. That's why the speed limit is higher in some places out west. Actually wouldn't a person going way over the speed limit be more likely to fail driver's ed? What sense did that make?
I noticed check two makes references to every possible odd pop culture item or trend he can find
check two is definitely........weird.
i dont kno if he is black or white, we dont kno his real name, his affiliations...nothing.
he's got to be some sort of deformed person
Even he has posted pics time to time. In a nut shell he is "mixed/mulatto" or something else, and uses a walk man (literally) plus doesnt appear threatening. He also lives in a town where a majority of my cousins I never speak to reside. sadly I've probably swam at his local pool when younger.Quote:

lol you guys are funny. I did post pictures of myself in the past, but that one asian looking picture wasn't me that Slung is referring too. ha ha And I didn't say I live in that town you're referring to, I am near there. Art is understandably still furious over the progression of the Steelers season, and he wants to take it out on somebody with a vehicular homicide. My affiliation is with the Non Ignorants obviously, the group I started and the best group to ever be assembled online or off.

actually, i'm not bitter with the steelers season. i've seen them win 2 super bowls in the past 5 years. i'm more bitter with pitt's season. if they beat cincinnati, they would be playing florida in the sugar bowl. instead, they're playing north carolina in the meineke car care bowl.Quote:

no way that is chek two......no frockin way....
lol, now i realize why he knows nothing about football. look at him.
fuckin zipperheads
Like I said, I'm not asian. lol Anyway Art, you should be glad that you don't live in Europe and you're not rich, or you could be paying $290,000 or more for your speeding tickets.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENEVA – European countries are increasingly pegging speeding fines to income as a way to punish wealthy scofflaws who would otherwise ignore tickets.
Advocates say a $290,000 (euro203,180.83) speeding ticket slapped on a millionaire Ferrari driver in Switzerland was a fair and well-deserved example of the trend.
Germany, France, Austria and the Nordic countries also issue punishments based on a person's wealth. In Germany the maximum fine can be as much as $16 million compared to only $1 million in Switzerland. Only Finland regularly hands out similarly hefty fine to speeding drivers, with the current record believed to be a euro170,000 (then about $190,000) ticket in 2004.
The Swiss court appeared to set a world record when it levied the fine in November on a man identified in the Swiss media only as "Roland S." Judges in the eastern canton of St. Gallen described him as a "traffic thug" in their verdict, which only recently came to light.
"As far as we're concerned this is very good," Sabine Jurisch, a road safety campaigner with the Swiss group Road Cross.
She said rich drivers were lightly punished until Swiss voters approved a 2007 penal law overhaul that let judges hand down fines based on personal income and wealth for moderate misdemeanors including excessive speeding and drunk driving. Before, they had to assign relatively small fixed penalties or — rarely — a few days in prison.
The fines were traditionally insignificant for rich people, and in the rare cases where prison terms for small-time offenders were handed down, they were usually suspended anyway. And even when they were sent to jail, the deterrent was limited compared with the costs of incarceration borne by the taxpayers, officials said.
"It wasn't about making the punishment harsher or lighter, but more sensible," Heinz Sutter, an official at the Swiss Justice Ministry, told The Associated Press.
In the latest Swiss case, the court took into account the man's history of similar offenses, the high speed with which he drove through a small village (60 miles — or 97 kilometers — an hour, nearly twice the 30 mph (50 kph limit), and his estimated personal wealth of over $20 million.
"The accused unscrupulously and without obvious reason, probably out of pure desire for speed, used a powerful vehicle to break elementary traffic rules," the court said, noting that the man could have risked the lives of pedestrians and other drivers.
Thomas Hansjakob, a prosecutor in the nearby city of St. Gallen, said the average driver is likely to get a more modest fine of several thousand Swiss francs (dollars).
"I think the man in the pub will get that this guy is only paying so much because he's rich, so it won't necessarily scare off others," he said. "But this is a signal for other rich people. We've had a real problem with wealthy foreigners hiring cars and conducting races on Swiss roads."
Last year a court sentenced six men from Hong Kong to fines of up to 95,000 francs after the men buzzed through Switzerland in hired Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins and Audis at speeds of up to 142 miles (229 kilometers) an hour.
In a separate case, a Frenchman was fined 70,000 francs after being caught on a highway doing 151 miles (243 kilometers) an hour.
Switzerland's Association for Transport Psychology wants authorities to place more emphasis on compulsory courses for speeders and regular reviews of their fitness to drive.
"Our view is that ordering the drivers to take part in therapy sessions is much more effective than simply making them open their wallets," Andreas Widmer, the association's president, said.
And the nationalist Swiss People's Party wants to reverse the 2007 penal code changes, allowing judges to once again impose short prison sentences for lesser infractions, said one of its lawmakers, Luzi Stamm.
The current law could lead to "ridiculously low" penalties without any possibility of jail time for poor people who are caught driving drunk or speeding excessively, Stamm told the AP.

check two is not black.....
He claims not to be white....
He probably isnt asian because that makes no sense....
Mixed???? Doubtful but possible.
Hispanic of some sort?? Maybe.
Something smells funny
Check2,I know that was you in front of me driving so fucking slow in the left lane near Reading today. Don't be so afraid of passing that salt truck, pussy
Yeah, slow to you is anything under 80 mph when the speed limit is 55. And you should be going even slower in these types of weather conditions.
What weather conditions?? It snowed yesterdaym why do I hae to drive slow today? The roads were clear
Some of the side streets still have snow and are pretty iced up, especially at night time.
↑
well i wasn't driving on side streets at night time. i was driving on the highway where the roads were clear. so get in the left lane you slow fuck and let me drive 80
Yeah, then you can end up like that luge guy.
Ohio is much better to drive in...i love it when im getting out of Pennsylvania, usually around the youngstown area, the fucking mountains end and its flat straight roads instead of that windy bullshit
Ha. I hate that!!! Seriously I feel ur road rage. U just want to tell them off.Quote:

Art, it doesn't sound like you should be on the road.
On a side note, it's long overdue to make this a nationwide ban. There are tons of accidents and deaths because of idiots with their phones. If you want to use your stupid phone, just pull off of the road into a store parking lot or some other area, like a normal person would. 99.9 percent of the calls can wait till your not driving anyway.
-Allentown Mayor Signs Cell Phone Driving Ban
Allentown's mayor has signed a bill banning motorists from using hand-held cell phones while driving in the city.
Mayor Ed Pawlowski signed the bill Tuesday. It goes into effect on March 19 but police will issue written warnings for the first month.
Allentown's city council unanimously approved the measure last week. Offenders could be fined $150 to $300, and a violation would be a primary traffic offense, meaning police could use it as a reason to pull over a motorist.
Skateboards, inline skaters and bicyclists would also be barred from using cell phones while riding.
Philadelphia, Erie and Harrisburg have passed similar bans.
I text and drive. I know it's horrible. My daughter now takes my phone from me so I'm not on it while I drive. It's an addiction. Now I go crazy without my phone in my hand while driving but I am trying to stop.
it's a little known fact that despite having very tight concave buttcheeks, Art has a loose rectum and irritable bowels.
so if you see him rapidly approaching in your rearview, please move over to the right and let him pass.
Prepare to rack up some big fines in the future if you don't stop. Maybe you could be on that Intervention show.Quote:

I know. I've been pulled over in Philly and given a warning. Now I put it in my backseat so I can't get to it but it is so hard but I'm trying.Quote:
