GSP's generally go everywhere at least 10-15 mph over the limit. I thought everyone around here did that.  I was told by a US Marshall here in GA that I can drive 10 over legally. 11 over, ticket. Generally, I think that's correct. However, that doesn't apply for school zones. I think there may be other exceptions. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
A lot of you are forgetting that the other driver turned left in front of him. And the two females who died were not wearing seatbelts. I'm not saying the trooper is innocent, and his speed is a contributing factor in the severity of the accident, but he's not totally at fault. ETA: I've worked accidents where I cited the at fault driver for failure to yield while turning left. When one took it to court and argued that the oncoming car was speeding the judge said he didn't care if they were going 300mph and doing cartwheels, you still have to yield before you can make a left turn. I have worked incidents here, in the Atlanta metro area, with these guys for over 25 years. Have met some great GSP personnel. Incidents happen and the wrong place, wrong time coincidence sometimes has tragic results. My heart goes out to all involved, along with the families, friends and coworkers who are left to put pieces back together. The Trooper will live with this tragedy daily, just as the family and friends losing their love ones. |

Vehicular Homicide ? 2 counts. Any other person would do some time in prison but I am certain the GBI will keep his sorry ass out of jail. At least he will never own anything again. And for those who feel sorry for that trooper, fuck that guy he knew better, he had been disciplined twice and finally killed two girls. He belongs in prison and I hope the lawsuit bankrupts him and devestates the GSP. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Yeah, because 'closing distances" and the time to complete the turn aren't different when the oncoming car is going a lot faster than the speed limit. I have plenty of time to get out of my neighborhood on to the main road when I can't see a car coming, but it is close when I can see them, so I don't pullout when a car is visible. Don't think I haven't considered what would happen if some jackass topped the hill at 90mph after I already decided to pull out or turn in for that matter. Quote HistoryQuoted:

And if they completed the turn, and were going 65 miles an hour, how long did that take ? 4 - 6 seconds ?? Why didn't officer dipshit have time to see them / avoid them ? It wasn't like they pulled right in front of him. And officer dipshit didn't have 3 accidents. It was 3 accidents involving "misjudged clearance" since 2011. Officer dipshit could have had 12 total accidents in that time period. |

Fired?
Why the Hell wasn't he charged?
Hmm, failure to yield..... It's very difficult for the average person to judge excessive speed by headlights at night, much less a young, inexperienced driver that has maybe a year of driving..... Bad situation. 
ETA: 35+ OVER? 90+ in a 55? If you say right of way yields to going nearly twice the legal limit (on a road that likely didn't provide sightlines for someone going 90), you're an idiot. Expecting someone to compensate for that situation by yielding right of way is ridiculous. He may not have even been visible when they committed to turn. In most places if you or I got pulled for 90 in a 55 we'd be taking a ride. |

Location of the crash. Trooper was headed north and the car turned in front of it attempting to turn onto Holly Springs Road.
The trooper was coming around the curve at 90mph. It could be fairly easy to misjudge speed, especially at night on a curve, and think you have plenty of time to turn when you aren't expecting someone to be going 35mph faster than they are supposed to be going. The closing distance is nearly half what it should be.

Not totally true. If it is a GSP trooper, he can cite you for 1 mph over anywhere at anytime. If it is a city or local sheriff's dept, they have a 10 mph buffer, but there ARE exceptions, like school zones, residential areas, etc where even they they can cite you for 1 mph over! My Son-In-Law is a GSP trooper, but 90+ mph in a 55 and no call is WAY out of line. I am sure it was a major factor in the misjudgment of the boy turning. Charges will be coming, I will bet..... About 1 month ago, I was mowing the right of way in front of my drive so we could see to pull out (The state sprays, and it doesn't do shit!) I was right along the edge mowing when a trooper came by me doing like 100! Scared the hell out of me. It was a divided 4 lane, I was in the median, and he was passing a car. I am betting there was less than 2 feet between his car and my tractor. No siren or lights at all! |

FPNI. What would happen if anyone else did that? Depends on circumstances. Usually, if the only aggravating circumstance was the high speed, they'd catch a reckless driving charge and then get hit with the civil stuff (no intent to cause the death). Additional aggravating circumstances, it could go as high as an involuntary manslaughter charge, or Felony DUI if that was the circumstance. I've seen them go both ways. |

GSP's generally go everywhere at least 10-15 mph over the limit. I thought everyone around here did that. "At least" Most people cap out at around 10 over. I routinely get passed in 55's by troopers going 70-75. Well, when the state laws make it effectively legal to go 10 over (except in school, residential, or construction zones) and don't even establish a fine until 15 over, yeah, most folks who know that go ahead and go 10 over. I'm not sure where you are going with this. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Only applies to city and county LEOs.GSP is exempt from that. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: GSP's generally go everywhere at least 10-15 mph over the limit. I thought everyone around here did that. I was told by a US Marshall here in GA that I can drive 10 over legally. 11 over, ticket. However, GSP has publicly stated that they won't enforce for less than 10 over unless there are other circumstances justifying doing so. In addition, there is no specified fine in the law for speeding less than 15mph over the limit, so I've had a local attorney challenge me to find a case where the cops cited someone for less than 15 over. What makes it fun is that Super Speeder kicks in at 85mph, no matter what the speed limit is... So 15 over in a 70mph zone... |

Well, until you get to Atlanta, then it's 75-80mph on the interstates no matter what the speed limit claims ;-) (there's a reason Georgia DOT quit reporting actual average speed of cars passing their cameras, they were embarrassed by the stretches of I-285, with a 55mph limit, where the AVERAGE speed was over 70mph. Of course, now they have variable speed limit signs in those areas which are usually set to 65mph now...) |

From the link in the oP They pulled onto Highway 27 in front of the state trooper, who crashed into the back of the teen-packed sedan, police said The crash occurred at 11:35 p.m. Saturday as the teens’ 2005 Nissan Sentra was travelling south on U.S. Highway 27 near Bremen in Carroll County. The trooper, identified as Anthony J. Scott, was travelling north on U.S. 27 in a 20144 Dodge Charger patrol car when the teen’s vehicle turned in front of him and he struck the right side of the Nissan as it tried to turn onto Holly Springs Road.
AJC 6 days ago Trooper Anthony J. Scott, 26, was northbound on U.S. 27 in Carroll County late Saturday night and had slowed to 68 mph when he struck a 2005 Nissan Sentra attempting a left turn onto Holly Springs Road, investigators said. The posted speed limit in the area is 55 mph. AJC yesterday In that case, the majority of the fault is on the teen making the turn. The officer has some negligence, but if I remember correctly GA is modified comparative. The girls parents should be suing the kid who was driving the car with their daughters in it. |

He was fired, so he lost QI. I have no doubt a civil suit is in his near future.
Now we will see what, if anything, he is charged with. |
