This article links to a video from an escort for a Ferrari rally in ’10:

Who cares lol???

I’d love that opportunity..

The guy that complained is probably jealous or a green freak. Hater lol

You obviously don’t have any kids of your own…

——————————–

You are right. I’m 20 yo with no kids. With that said, idk which person my age isnt into fast cars and speed.. Yes it was very dangerous but it was controlled with the police. An accident could happen at any time, not just going fast. They stayed on the fast (left) lane I guess… Thats just my opinion. If that offer came up where I could speed and not get a ticket, I would definitely take it because im into that type of stuff. Apparently most football fans dont seem to be into that. To each his own.

Speed never killed anyone. It’s sudden deceleration that’s the problem.

———————————————–
I seen speed (V. Cruz) kill a couple Jets and deceleration had nothing to do with it.

Wow that never happens. The police are normally all morally driven do-gooders with strong convictions. I love how a badge gives you the power to do whatever you want for 40k a year. I hope they all get fired.

All over this country, police departments provide escort caravans for a variety of reasons. Why do they do this? For revenue. You see, if people are unwilling to support new taxes then the cops will have to continue to do stuff like this to drum up money.

The only cops in trouble here are the one’s leading the caravan, not those that authorized it. Those in power will say it was just to be a caravan and the speeding was on the individual officers. Once again, the little man will get squashed due to this.

what a colossal waste of taxpayer money, not to mention dangerous. any cop involved in this should be fired.

and onebucplace….it’s not the car doing 100+ thats the problem, it’s nonprofessional drivers doing it in a pack on public roads. The Garden State Parkway doesn’t always have the best sight lines and is kind of narrow in places. recipe for disaster.

How about the feds stop threatening the states and allow them to raise the speed limits. The 65-70-75mph limits are ridiculously low in the year 2012.

Just because somebody has money shouldn’t give them the right to recklessly break the law and endanger the poor folks. Typical American double standard for the rich and famous.

Just don’t pull that crap down Hwy 1; we have mountains here – you will waste yourself! Oh, and gain more than 571 yards and maybe we will consider a special escort for you.

Driving fast in a group is a recipe for disaster though. People that drive in groups tend to pack themselves much too tightly for the speeds they are going and one mistake by someone at the front is sure to cause an accident behind them, as the reaction time increases for each subsequent driver.

The fact that some troopers actually sanctioned this and went along with it is pathetic, but not surprising at all.
