Not only that, but making an unsafe lane change is a Lamborghini (or any other mid-engined supercar) is a very easy thing to do.
Those things have very limited rear vision. Even the convertible version like the one he was driving has the driver’s rear view obstructed by the engine hump and the rear bodywork. Reversing is notoriously difficult in these cars.
We’ve had discussions about drivers who have been Tasered for that sort of thing.
As for knowing who he is, i’m very well aware of who 50 Cent is. But, at the same time, i wouldn’t recognize him if i ran into him on the street. Well, maybe i would now that i’ve just looked at his picture on the linked article, but i wouldn’t have before.
And anyone who says “Do you know who i am?” or any variant thereof should be automatically locked up anyway, even if they haven’t done anything wrong.
If you look at the picture, the car has a black novelty plate instead of proper 30-day tags or a real license plate. Plenty of reason to pull him over in itself.
That’s what’s wrong with this country. If a guy driving a $500K car doesn’t have a lawyer that can make “mook” a racial epithet, he just needs a new lawyer. Fucking amateurs.
Right. What she said. If it had been something that had interfered with traffic, it would be reckless driving. “Unsafe lane change” is something like changing lanes without using your turn signal, something that white drivers get pulled over for all the time.
I’ve gotten pulled down a few times for it, as well as a no right on red, and ne’er a whiter chap will you meet than I. You can call it DWB, but it’s still against the law to fail to signal, and I’d call his not having a license and not registering a car him being an asshole, the arrogance was him being a “star”.
Which means “eggplant,” literally. Growing up in a heavily Sicilian neighborhood, I had assumed it was just Italian for “Negro” because most of the time I heard the phrase it was in an invective-free context (“These two moolies came into my store the other day, and I swear I coon’t understand a word they said…”)
The important element to the charge of reckless driving is intent. If it is reckless it must be an intentionally dangerous act, otherwise it is just carelessness. Careless driving is kind of a catch all charge so you can either go with that or with the more specific charge such as unsafe lane change. Reckless driving is a hard charge to prove since it is hard to prove what is in the driver’s head. It is usually used in DWI cases, very excessive speeds (like 50mph over) or street racing. This is the case in NJ, of course it may be different in your state.
