Well... maybe, just maybe... he's right?

As he stated, there were no passengers, he did not veer off into the other lane, there were no other cars on the road. Yes, he was speeding. But, heck, people do 128 on the autobahn every day (I know I did), and that's not called "reckless driving."

The kid IS lucky to have had that judge, though.

I agree Josh! Fastest I went with an '04 TL was 110 (summit point track) and felt really slow especially when trying to catch up.

This guy was on a motocycle! 128 on a motorcycle's got to feel pretty fast. And he got off for $300, dirt cheap. One of my friends got caught going 78 in a 45 zone on a bridge, cost him $1000 plus suspension of license for 30 days!

No, he isn't legislating from the bench, he is just interpreting the law. And the law says 128 isn't reckless. It's so obvious, maybe you need a refresher course....
