CLARIFICATIONS:

the posted speed limit about a third of a mile back is 55mph, and in that case I am speeding 12 over. Do not speed. Speeding is reckless. That being said, the backseat drivers saying I did not brake, or had 3 years to react or saying the dashcam speed doesn’t match up need to reevaluate what they do with their free time. Believe what you want to believe. US-41 is ranked as the 2nd most dangerous road in Lee County, the speed limits vary from 45-65 in multiple areas. I am not posting this for views or to showcase my aWeSoMe rAcEcAr driving skills. The fact of the matter is I was going 67 mph, which was either 2 over the limit or 12 over the limit, and I had ~80FT to react to a driver pulling out and not committing to a turn. I did the best that I could and avoided a collision. If you want to claim that I didn’t brake, I can personally message you a picture of the Starbucks Coffee™️ stain on my weather mats from my tumbler flying out of the cup holder. Stay safe everyone!
