After Crash, No New Speeding Rule for Corzine’s Drivers

Published: June 1, 2007

TRENTON, May 31 — Acknowledging that Gov. Jon S. Corzine’s recent
near-fatal crash occurred as a trooper drove their S.U.V. at 91 miles
per hour in a 65 m.p.h. zone, the New Jersey State Police superintendent
said Thursday that the governor’s drivers would still not be prohibited
from speeding in non-emergency situations.

Testifying before a panel reviewing the State Police executive
protection unit, the superintendent, Col. Joseph R. Fuentes, said he
would encourage the governor’s office to make more frequent use of
police helicopters, which avoid traffic hazards and other potential threats.

Colonel Fuentes said that when the governor traveled by car, it would be
“counterproductive” to order drivers not to speed, since troopers are
responsible for protecting him from dangerous and unexpected situations,
matters as various as traffic accidents and potential assassinations.

“Speed of the motorcade is a tool that can be used for risk avoidance,”
he said, “distancing the vehicle from perceived threats or to position
the motorcade on the highway in such a way that maximizes the ability to
maneuver amidst traffic.”

(SNIP)

When asked whether the panel would recommend that governors wear seat
belts and that their drivers adhere to speed limits, Mrs. Whitman said
the panel would not issue its recommendations until next month. But she
said she recalled that the troopers who drove her during her years in
office often had to exceed the speed limit to avoid being overrun by
other cars on the road.

“We sped,” Mrs. Whitman said. “As a general rule, we tried to move with
the flow of traffic. But on the turnpike, if you go 65, you’re being
passed by trucks.”

Hear that crap?. Governors HAVE to speed to avoid being run over by
other drivers!!!!! I've driven the speed limit or less all my life.

If government officials know that traffic moves faster than the limit,
then why do they not just raise the limit?

You're a liar. You've admitted to speeding before.

So, no ticket for the trooper. I called that one correctly.

That means the speed limit is set wrong, but the government won't admit
that. Just enforce it on everyone but themselves.
