No seatbelt and speeding?

You know, it's not good that our state troops allow their passengers to travel without a seatbelt while they are speeding.
The sport utility vehicle carrying Gov. Jon S. Corzine was traveling about 91 mph moments before it crashed, the superintendent of state police said Tuesday.

The governor was critically injured when the vehicle crashed into a guardrail on the Garden State Parkway just north of Atlantic City last week. He apparently was not wearing his seat belt as he rode in the front passenger's seat.

The speed limit along that stretch of the parkway is 65 mph.

I bet plenty of high school driving teachers will be using the governor as the negative example this week.
