What is bail? Maybe 10% of court ordered amount? If the parents could afford the BMW, they could afford that. Either they know he’s a flight risk, or possibly want nothing to do with him. I wonder what condition they believe he has.

Honestly, it’s not so much about horsepower as much as the gear ratios in the transmission and what the governor is set at in the vehicle. The Honda civic SI has a governor set at 147, and a whopping 205hp engine. Sure 500 could get there a bit faster, but the civic could still do it.
This all being said, there’s really no reason anybody should really need to travel at anywhere near 120 anyway. 147 and 151? Insanity. These are speeds that you need full protective gear and a car with roll cages. Not a stock car with a convertible top.

An order of magnitude is not the difference here. My 250hp SHO did 144 mph runs. An order of magnitude would be a 2000hp car Vs a factory equipped Honda, not a car that can do 150mph Vs one topping out at 120, or even 100.

The energy required is not linear. From 50 to 100 is not double the energy, so maybe horsepower alone isn't the correct term. On the flip side of that, it means the crash is far stronger than you would expect. Honestly I'm surprised the kid lived

Kinetic energy is quadratic with respect to speed. And a BMW M5 has more mass. The impact of the two is very different- the BMW hitting with almost twice as much kinetic energy at 150 than an Accord at 120. If you actually were able to get the Accord to go that fast, that is.
Would it have made a difference to the people he crashed into? Don't know. But an idiot in an Accord and a jackass in an M5 are nowhere close to each other in terms of force. On a busier road the M5 might have caused more pileup.

Many psychiatric prescription drugs don't come with restrictions on driving beyond the standard "hey wait until you know how this affects you" so you don't sue them if you have side effects that cause an accident. Which makes sense, because they're often prescribed to help improve functioning rather than impair it. The exact specifics of course would depend on which one and what it's supposed to treat, but the reason that, for example, alcohol + driving is a no-no is because it impairs cognitive functioning, which isn't going to be the case for e.g. many antidepressants.
I say this not to defend the driver because there's no excuse for that level of speed (I've seen disagreement as to if it's 120 or 151 mph but both are definitely well into reckless driving territory outside of a racetrack), but because many people take psychiatric medications and are totally safe to drive.
They're technically drugs but often when people are talking about drugs they mean recreational drugs and/or prescription drug abuse rather than taking medication as directed.
Roman_____Holiday t1_j20n6k9 wrote
The terms are vague and often used interchangeably by the layman. Recreational is taken for enjoyment. Medication is taken to treat a condition.

I'd think self medicating is a bit more risky just because it's much less regulated and the user may not have a good understanding of the potential risks. Sometimes a drug someone's self-medicating with can feel good -- otherwise people wouldn't use them recreationally after all -- even if it's not really helping to properly manage the condition.

Honda attracts that weird culture. I don't know any other Japanese car brand that has a quirky mod-enthusiast fan base trying to squeeze 1 HP out of economy cars like squeezing the last bit of toothpaste from a tube. The quirkyness gets less and less goofy as the value of the car goes up.

CTR seems to have been turned into a luxury model. The 2.0T accord is just a cheaper version.
OTOH, when we talk Integras, they've always been upscaled civics.

Same with that traveling nurse who killed an entire family including an unborn child running a red light at 90 mph. She somehow survived it too.

Point is those slow family cars aren’t interesting to race with.

I knew a guy in college who frequently drove drunk at over 100 mph. Eventually he and his asshole buddies got in a crash but all of them were fine. This guy was literally the most psychotic person I've ever met and people treated him like a god. Life's not fair at all.

Lol yes they are. Are you a drag race fan? That would explain the lack of fun you’re having.

How often do they do it in public roads when it’s busy? Hardly. I don’t think I’ve ever seen 2 Hondas race in front of me. But with my Mustang, I’ve had Camaros and other fast cars try to race me. Never a Honda.

I am not sure why I always run into pedantic people. I wasn’t excusing the speed be it 120 or 151. I just wanted to know where he saw it.

"Galle told an investigator after the crash while en route to the hospital he was going “above 120.”
However, officials conducted search warrants for the airbag control modules of both vehicles and found Galle was driving at 151 mph at impact, while the other car was driving at 38 mph. "

Were you not the person who was just being pedantic by saying it was actually 120? You probably run into pedantic people so often because you own a mirror

I hope the whole family ends up living under a bridge and eating out of dumpsters. Take everything they own or will ever own. Watch the kid plead affluenza.

Yeah. Asking for clarification is being pedantic.

Why not for every vehicle? No one EVER needs to go 80MPH, you can live your entire life and get anywhere you need to go at 75MPH, even less

I cannot believe this kid still hasn't gone to trial. His parents should just prepare themselves to pay millions of dollars. Buying a 17-year old a BMW M5 is gross negligence.
