The one fellow in the Barrera article cited for doing 101 MPH and claimed: "I didn't even notice, because the music was on, I was dialing numbers on my phone and was switching lanes," is attempting to nominate himself for a Darwinian award. Unfortunately, when he performs his self inclicted coup d'grace he will proably take innocents with him.
And, incidentally, I've been up and down the Grapevine countless times and never once was oblivious to my speed. In fact, going down, I'm even more conscious because of the line of semi's to the right geared down to
20 MPH.
