Wet pavement is dangerous and is most dangerous early in a rain storm because the grease has yet to be washed off of the road. Most street cars are not particulrly safe at 100 mph and the only Chrysler product that I would drive at 100 mph on Lake Shore is the Dodge Viper. The idea of driving at triple-digits in a Chrysler Crossover is simply wrong, sure the car will go 100 but it really is not built for that sort of speed - and heck look who is now warrantying those things!El Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850720184628306378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-27681661954787773022009-05-16T06:58:00.000-05:002009-05-16T06:58:00.000-05:00Starck:

However, I've noticed a lot of them tend to be Pontiacs and Toyotas and 12-year-old Nissans. <br />And, um, LSD is a terribly inefficinet way to get to the North Shore -- that's what the Edens is for. Likely those speeders and weavers are your neighbors!jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847176065158772270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-90163054703040159322009-05-15T13:35:00.000-05:002009-05-15T13:35:00.000-05:00UpdateCharges filed.<A HREF="http://www.suntimes.com/news/24-7/1575723,w-wrigleyville-man-charged-crash-051509.article" REL="nofollow">Update</A>Charges filed.yohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07400816063541009591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-46646298546494224282009-05-14T23:37:00.000-05:002009-05-14T23:37:00.000-05:00I have also witnessed the high speed and total dis...I have also witnessed the high speed and total disregard for other peoples safety.

It appears speed was the issue here. I can't tell you how many drivers go down lake shore at insane speeds weaving in and out of traffic like it's a race track. It's unsafe for them and for everyone else on the road. The police really need to patrol LSD - I would even be up for speed cameras. There is no reason to drive over 60 on LSD.nmfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817881563860973320noreply@blogger.com
