I'm using those numbers for a reason. 70 is the speed limit on that stretch of road and 120 is the speed he was going.

Just so you know, NOBODY here in Texas drives the speed limit on a freeway. 85 is probably the common speed. And even when going 85, someone will always come up and blow right by like you were doing 45 or something. I know 120 is far from that, but I'm just saying. The last time I went to KC I was baffled by how almost everyone drove the speed limit.

Speed isn't the major issue in this case.

edit: I just saw this. Yup, verified by me.
