dakota r/t gets totalled right infront of me

Different states have different technical verbage surrounding criminal offenses.

Excessive Acceleration

Unreasonable Acceleration

Unnecessary Acceleration

There is another name for it, dang it, it's in the back of my head. Has do to with showing off. Kinda like Demonstration of Speed or something like that.

In this case, that's probably where the verbage difference between criminal vehicular homicide, and vehicular manslaughter comes into play.

As far as punishing the driver of the Dakota... I'm afraid if you want to drive your car up to 100mph on a city street, you're taking a lot of risks, and you know you're breaking the law. Careless driving must be cited here if you are above 20mph over the speed limit. Driving over 100mph is probably grounds for a reckless. On a hiway, I'd disagree depending on the scenerio. I'd say speeding, reckless driving, and probably reckless endangerment. Not what I'd like to see on my ticket for pulling something like that, but deserved, probably.
