Ruggs was going 156mph in the middle of Las Vegas.
Robinson was 100mph on a highway.
Not even close to being the same man.
100+mph and likely drunk. that is insanely dangerous for everyone on the road.

Was this supposed to be blue font?
I will say that ,I think Americans are a bit slow to catch on.... As a teenager in the late 60's, drinking and driving was, oddly enough, quite socially acceptable. Now, totally blitzed wasn't - but that is a fine line of course.That would explain why they’re all on the wrong side of the road.
Well no shit that’s why it’s illegal, but drunk and 156mph in the middle of a city? Not even comparable.100+mph and likely drunk. that is insanely dangerous for everyone on the road.
You saying they don't in the UK?Doesn’t everyone drink drive over there?
UK suck-up!I will say that ,I think Americans are a bit slow to catch on.... As a teenager in the late 60's, drinking and driving was, oddly enough, quite socially acceptable. Now, totally blitzed wasn't - but that is a fine line of course.
In the mid-70's while working for my Uncle (Sam) I got to visit a wireless site, near Scarborough, UK. That was a fun thing, for a Navy guy to leave the uniform behind and meet up with some civilians for a couple of weeks. Back to the story... Living miles form any US presence we had time to visit local pubs and sample the nightlife - and it was there, that I first became acquainted with the "designated driver" concept - in action. It seemed wherever there were 3 or four people, one was drinking water with lemons, or something.
Now I wasn't there long enough to understand the ramifications for breaking the law for drinking and driving - but I was duly impressed that (young) people would be that focused. Certainly, people I knew back home weren't doing that.
So - kudo's to y'all in the UK for being the example.
Ah hell. You Brits don't know how to speak English OR which side to drive on. The car was invented in France and Germany and even they drive on the right. And it's spelled DEFENSE!That would explain why they’re all on the wrong side of the road.
Gotta agree. My exposure to Brits over the years has mainly been either military types who are very much like US military types, or expats who live overseas. All of whom were just as bad as myself and my drinking buddies. They're some hard drinking bastids.You saying they don't in the UK?
I only know you Brits can certainly drink and dive. We did several dives with a British dive club in the Bahamas. We owned a brewery and joked about being professional drinkers, but there was no way we could dream of putting that much alcohol down until the wee hours and scuba just a couple hours later. They were insane!
Well no shit that’s why it’s illegal, but drunk and 156mph in the middle of a city? Not even comparable.
Exactly, which is pretty surprising you'd make it.silly argument
Yeah, that's the cherry on top of the shit milkshake that this week has turned into.

Not at all but we have much better public transport here for example so it doesn’t seem so prevalent here as it does there. I could be wrong though.You saying they don't in the UK?
You can tell the things that people do themselves by how they excuse or diminish the bad actions of others.
There’s so many layers to thisI’ll leave it at that.silly argument
