another vid from the owner. he sounds really intelligent.

Yup, look at the video at the accident scene. Clear day, dry road, wide road, nicely paved.... it wasn't the road or conditions. He had to simply be driving too fast for his abilities or for the car.

As for Blink driving fast late at night on a straight, vacant highway.... my advice would be to get a good radar detector. I recommend the Valentine 1. A lot of CHP in Cali just leave their radar on and the V1 will let you know two miles before you can even see them! If you want to drive fast without anyone else around, at least don't get caught doing it.

As for Ohio police - I hear ya vath2001! I grew up in Ohio and the state police situation disgusts me every time I go back to visit. Try crossing from Indiana to Ohio on I-70. 95% of the time there's a couple troopers sitting there just waiting to pick off people not adjusting for the speed limit change. Too many highway patrol just trying to pull in revenue in that state.
