As much as anything, I think this probably shows the difference between WI and other parts of the country. If you are doing 80 mph on the interstate in a 60 mph construction zone on I-95, you are likely holding up several vehicles stacked up behind you. Does not surprise me at all that someone who had been living in the BAL/DC area would be driving 80 in that situation.

You'd think that if you were driving while carrying (to some degree...and certainly if you were using) - while facing the double edged sword of both civil and professional repercussions - you'd stay sharp on the speed limits and use cruise control to fly under the radar.

No room for error right now when we're chasing NO and SF for a potential first round bye. One loss to a team we should beat could end up haunting us. Need all hands on deck to keep this win streak going the next 2 weeks before the pivotal SF game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 94 in Racine has been under construction since I was born it feels like. Everyone goes 80 on it, including me coming back from work trips from Chicago where I just want to get the hell out of congested roads. The Hwy 20 offramp he got pulled over on is actually my exit to go home. No crews are ever actually doing anything though. It's like driving on an Indiana hwy if anyone's ever experienced that joy. Miles of cones shutting down a lane, causing hours of delays, no workers in sight. If I'm LaFleur I'm giving it to him straight. Don't smoke your weed out of a vape pen, just use blunts, we don't need you dying on us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like speeding, I expect Z's view on "carrying" is much more relaxed vs the typical WI resident. There is definitely some culture shock when moving from the BAL area to GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got something in your possession - or in the car you're driving from here to there - that if found could cause you either civil or professional hassles (not to mention a considerable amound of cash).......be smart. If you cant (or dont want to) get rid of it - use the technology readily available to you (read: cruise control) to make your car blend in. Enhance the probability if wont ever be searched and you can avoid the hassles and enjoy whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I get that it makes sense for Z to be smarter in this situation, but I just don't expect that's the way any of these guys think. The speeding is a total non-issue to me, and I doubt the possession part of it even registers with a lot of athletes as something to be truly wary of. I kind of expect that Z was using his cruise control, and it was set to 80 mph. The idea of being extra careful because he might get pulled over for speeding and have his car searched likely never entered his mind.

More than enough athletes have been stopped - or had their cars searched incidentally as a result of some driving mishap and suffered the penalty. Its not like its not BREAKING / HEADLINE NEWS. So - just remove yourself from that potential. Either dont carry while out in the public - or drive slow enough that odds are you wont get stopped.

thrILL! Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Clearly Z didn’t get the memo that Gordon signed with the Seahawks. It was nice of him to prepare some hospitality tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I personally try to always keep it under 10 over but I get it I guess I'm out of step on this one. I live in the upper Midwest (Duluth, MN) and haven't done much driving far from home in the last few years. Mostly I travel in northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A couple weeks ago I drove down to the Twin Cities and was surprised that a lot of traffic was going 70 mph in a 60 mph in a construction zone. Some people were going even faster, but I assumed they were maniacs who deserved to be pulled over and ticketed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathstar Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Definitely don’t think Z knew they were carrying based on his initial response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z needs to get a cousin to come forward and claim it as his so this can all go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
