News Derrick Lewis arrested

[Whitestallion]

What an idiot, let me act like an 18 year old fool and jeopardize everything I’ve worked for….makes sense.

Fuck you, people make mistakes, you have made many. Cool cars should be tested on the track, but thats just not how it goes.

i have gone 156 coming back from boston on the highway in a 335i so i can imagine what he wad driving he prob dint even notice he was going as fast he was lol

155ish (hard to catch the exact number while watching the road) in a 55 in a 2015 mustang gt with a whipple. I sold the car the following month. I’m too old for that shit and it’s not fun driving slow with 700 to the wheels.

the need for speed has returned though, and my closest drag strip shut down and was turned into apartment complexes

 

[storeybuckle]

Went from hot balls to hot wheels

Officer: “why were you driving so fast?”

Derrick:”Mah balls was hot”

Damn my heart sunk for a second, yes it was irresponsible and lacked good judgment. No dui or anything crazy like that I'm relieved.

Yeah thankfully Jon Jones set the bar so low that I'm like, "Hey good job, Lewis, you didn't get high, crash into a pregnant lady, flee the scene, then return to the scene to grab your cocaine, then flee the scene again without even stopping to see if the pregnant woman was okay... You're like a hero."

Didn’t read through the whole thread so maybe it’s been discussed but is this going to affect the fight at all or what?

 

[Fedorgasm]

I always heard double the speed limit is automatic arrest. Of course, officer’s discretion.

Personally, I don’t do more than 10 or 15 over these days.

That's how I am. 10 mph over the limit and that's it. Speeding doesn't really make that much of a difference in how fast you arrive at your destination. Signals and traffic have a much bigger impact on arrival times on short trips.

On long trips, I've found that speed doesn't matter either. Stopping does. It doesn't do you any good to drive 90 and then stop for restroom/food breaks.

No reason to speed. Just relax and enjoy the ride.

Nope,
First offense
Simple fine and driver safety course
Business as usual

This is worse than just a regular dui (touched the median, pulled over, and blew a 0.8 type dui) to me. Much worse.

hahaha some people will never understand it man. yes its not smart, neither is getting punched in the brain for funzies lol.

and yeah i get that! would be hard not too go crazy haha. i have a video of it, had 3 other people in the car and my fat ass was like 350 pounds at the time and 335i still boooooked it

Seriously? Just the fact that you gave 0.8 BAC as your example shows you have no clue what you're talking about. I don't think regular people who have only driven Chevy Malibus and Toyota Highlanders understand the level of these cars. Lewis owns an Aventador SV, which can hit 60-130mph in ~7 seconds. It's a widely compared speed interval that you can Google. Not only does it have extreme acceleration, but also extreme braking and handling to match. Driving 136mph in some generic Honda? Obviously stupid and it will probably take you a minute plus of flooring it to even get there. In an Aventador SV you can get to 136mph and back down to the speed limit in ~10 seconds. It's not even comparable honestly. It's like saying that pulling 2 G's in a F-22 is extremely dangerous because an A380 can't do it. Not trying to excuse his behavior, but driving drunk at any speed is far more dangerous, well in my opinion.

 

[rmorris003]

Here in Ontario Canada he would have been charged with stunt driving, license suspended, car seized for a few weeks and a fine up to 10,000. Also the impound fees just to get his car back is in the thousands. I'd say he got a slap on the wrist so far.

Bruh maybe not even that. Traffic lawyers in Houston are crafty and worth every penny.

Couldn’t have happened to a better man.

Derrick going the speed limit with piss jugs would definitely have arrived earlier than going almost three times the limit and getting arrested.

It is comparable if you're doing it above a busy commercial airport instead off in the middle of nowhere.
