Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro caught speeding at 119 mph
by Kara Zupkus | Nov 20, 2017, 2:41 PM

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was pulled over for speeding in upstate New York after she was clocked going 119 mph in a 65 mph zone.

The New York Daily News reported Pirro was stopped by a state trooper in Tioga County around 1:15 p.m. Sunday.

Pirro, the host of "Justice With Judge Jeanine," said she was on her way to visit her ailing mother but vowed to "pay the consequences."

“I had been driving for hours to visit my ailing 89-year-old mom and didn’t realize how fast I was driving. I believe in the rule of law and I will pay the consequences,” Pirro said in a Fox News Channel statement.

New York's Department of Motor Vehicles says a conviction for going more than 40 mph over the speed limit could put 11 points on a driver's license. Eleven points will lead to a license suspension.

She was in a hurry to see her gravely ill mother.  But she recklessly endanger many others, and that is wrong.

I respect the fact she immediately owned her mistake. That nearly disqualifies her for politics.

I have done that, unfortunately. And it really is true. When you get up to those speeds, in an uncontrolled environment, anything can kill you. A rock. A rabbit. A crazy driver ahead of you. That speed takes a lot of control away from you. I did that in youth, and I'm surprised that I survived it.

With those crazy speeds, whoa man, shit, anything, any little thing can make for a very bad wreck. It doesn't have to be anything you did. Could be another driver trying to be a vigilante police force. It could be just some weird coincidence. It doesn't really matter. If you crash at those speeds, you are going to die. The only question is, how many others you will take with you.

This lady is a lying sack. Once you break the century mark, you know you are moving I don't care what you're driving. 120 keeps you damn alert even behind the wheel of a 911.

BTW I just did 103 today in a Buick wagon for shits and giggles. I could have got more put I ran out of straight highway.

[RoosGirl]

BS she didn't realize how fast she was driving.  When you're going close to double the posted speed, you know you're going fast.  I've done the same in my youth.  She knew.

[roamer_1]

Wait. 120 mph is speeding?

Yah. Sorta. It kinda depends on the car you have.

Just for curiosity sake, when was the last Buick wagon made? This new one looks like a near copy of the latest Volvo and Acura wagons, plus Audis, BMWs etc. GM doesn't lead these days.

NOT GUILTY EVEN AT 66 YEARS OF AGE!!

Nope. Not really. How many rich people die every year? And they have the best cars money can buy.


When you get up to speed, 100+ mph, you lose a lot of control over the vehicle. When you get up to over 120, you better have a foil on the back to keep the car on the ground. Otherwise, trying to steer the car, is just merely giving it a suggestion. Because by then it is trying to fly. If you have a long flat, like the M1 running from Leeds to London or the Bundesautobahn you can go as fast as you want to. I have driven those at over two hundred kilometers, and I was getting passed. That is a totally different thing.


But, here in America it is more difficult and more dangerous.

That presupposes that they knew how to drive it.

Well yeah, but not really - there is nothing magic about 100 vs 80 vs 130 - A 69 3/4T 4x4 chevy with 4:55 gears (assuming stock and good repair) is all out at 80/85 - you are pushing the rig past its limits... I'll admit your average grocery getter in the USA is likely designed to a limit around 100 - But a modern Vette or Camero takes 100+ right in stride... while a crotch-rocket isn't even trying at 130 (or a Lambo, to stay in 4-wheeled vehicles).

And btw, it ain't 'more dangerous' on US interstates out here in the west than it is in Germany. If you are heading east to west, it takes 3 days to drive across Montana in a purportedly 'sane' manner- a good portion of it straight, flat as a pancake, and almost wholly empty. Putting on a little steam will save a ton of time out here.

A modern car designed for 140 mph is designed to have downforce, too. Hence it is controllable.

But the driver has to pay attention, cuz the thing doesn't steer itself.

European highways are designed for higher speeds, than the US.

A 1970s vintage full sized American boat, is not a safe car imo to drive over 100 mph. But a 2010 Audi, BMW or MB is.

You may be right. Since I have grown older, and more wise, I have not attempted to break 100 in America. I simply considered it to be too dangerous. But yes, when I did those things, it was a long time ago. And the car was not aerodynamic. It very well could be different today. But, back in the day, it was a wild ride.

About 12 years ago one of my favorite students got caught doing 110 in a 55 on his motorcycle. The Trooper didn't give him a ticket. He made him call his father and explain what he was doing. When the kid got home his father handed him a pair of scissors and made him cut up the license. I laughed when i heard about it.

That POS Roadmaster couldn't do 103 down hill and over a cliff with a gangbanger behind the wheel.

HMMM.  Add a Whisper Lid Cold air box and with that Faux Wood grain must add 10 HP to the rear wheels!

GM tested the woodgrain applique in a wind tunnel and found it brought down drag by a coefficient of 0.013.
