Only speed in a video arcade. Not in real life.

This is getting riddiculous. Two weeks ago we lost a police officer due to a speeding driver and now this guy rolls his car because he too was speeding. Luckily no innocent people were injured or killed. The speed limit is 55 mph on most of the freeway except for between Waipahu and Kapolei but, if you drive the speed limit you'll certainly see a lot of people passing you like you were standing still and some of them will be giving you the "stink eye" if not worse. Everybody gotta slow down because speeding isn't worth the ticket or the pain you inflict on yourself or worse on to others. I hope the driver recovers and learns from this collision.

Sad to hear, and I hope he recovers, but if he was speeding... I don't know, I'm just relieved that no other innocent passengers or drivers got hurt. It's one thing to take risks with your own life, and an entirely different thing when you possibly jeopardize others at the same time.

Man in 60's involved in accident. Reports he was speeding. Please people, no matter what age you are, slow down. If you don't hurt yourself, you might hurt a child, a kupuna in the other vehicle. Drive carefully. Speed kills...
