Am I supposed to feel sorry for this guy? I mean, I don't want anyone hurt, but a trooper driving him at 91 miles/hour and NO seat belt??? How stupid can you be???

I feel sorry for Gov. Corzine and wish him a speedy recovery but, the driver should have insisted that seatbelts were in use and shouldn't have been travelling at such a high rate of speed. I believe I heard that a State Trooper was driving the vehicle. What was he thinking? I'd rather be late than dead or pay a ticket or worse yet, injure someone else.

Respectfully,

First I want to wish all that were in the accident well and am glad that it did not turn out worse than it did. Secondly, Just goes to show that police and politicians are not above the law. Whoever was driving should be fired and lose their driving privlidges. Governor Corzine should be ticketed and fined for not wearing a seat-belt which is required by NJ law for passengers in the front seat. Both the driver and Governor should be treated as any member of the general public would had they caused a massive accident. An appology should be issued to the person driving the truck for slandering his name in the media as well and necessary reparations paid.

A state governor being driven by a state trooper UNRESTRAINED at 90 mph? Now who is at fault again?

It was an unfortunate event that could have been worse, but could have been prevented.
A few things make this another case of police, politicians, etc having the mentality of "do as we say, not as we do".
This driver was going 91mph at rush hour on the Garden State Parkway with unbelted passengers. The driver of the vehicle had turned on emergency flashing lights. They have stated that "it was intended to be an act of precaution and safety" HUH?
It is apparent that there was no concern of safety for anyone. The governor was going to a meeting and was more important than anyone else on the road...GET OUT OF OUR WAY!
Thankfully, it sounds like he will heal and be fine. Hopefully his ego and self-importace levels will drop a bit.

I hope all recover soon from this horrible crash. However, this seems like it could have been prevented. I don't think there is anything I can write that would change his mind about the risk of speeding and no seatbelts, so I will just be grateful that no one was killed.

Being above the Law almost killed the guy! State Troopers endanger us every day on the highways. Its just a matter of time till they kill someone.How many times I see troopers doing 85-95 with no lights on! HINT "every day"

I wish the governor a speedy recovery but I hope the state trooper driving at 91 mph gets a reckless driving ticket and the gov. gets a ticket for not wearing his seatbelt. It seems only fair. Am I right?

Once again- proof positive that NJ State Police AND politicians believe themselves to be above the law- at the risk of everyone else's lives! This trooper wasn't any smarter that the one who murdered two young girls in South Jersey a couple of months ago when he ran a stop sign.

I put myself in that situation and immediatley realize that unlike the trooper I,or any civilian without the backing of government or police would be facing criminal charges.
This was an officer of the law,therefore traffic laws do not apply.Take a drive on any highway and see for yourself.Cops routinely disobey the traffic laws of any city,town,village.I can come to one conclusion they are COPS and they are SPECIAL.We the general public must learn to stay out of there way.

What a jerk. Gov. Jon Corzine is a leader of a state and is of course "above the law", he earned the pain and do I feel sorry, no why should the nation have any feeling for this man. buckle up, saves lives and it's the law. unless your name is Gov. Jon Corzine, D-N.J.

If an average Joe was caught driving at 91mph, his license could
be revoked, especially if there was
an accident. I think the same law
should apply to the trooper. He needs driver rehab before getting behind the wheel again. It's plain reckless. Most SUV tires are mud and snow and are NOT meant to go above 85mph.

First of all, I hope they recover from this easily preventable crash. Second,these men are both idiots. Third, isn't it the job of the state trooper to fine those who are speeding? And to fine those who aren't wearing their seatbelts? Is there any trooper in the state who is going to slap a hefty fine on both of these men?! I certainly hope so!!

It's very fortunate that no one was killed in this incident, and I hope that Gov. Corzine has a speedy recovery. Unfortunately, the type of behavior that led to the incident (NOT accident) is epidemic among those responsible for high-ranking government officials around the country. The security details (Secret Service, etc.) that escort officials around the DC area drive at speeds that would get the ordinary driver a very stiff fine. Add to that the escort vehicles that follow the lead vehicle with less than a car's length between them - at 60+ mph! Ostensibly, the reason for their speed is that the passenger is a potential target. The flaw in their thinking is that their actions create unsafe conditions and draw unusual attention to themselves. Two or more vehicles traveling at speeds well in excess of the posted limit creates a hazard to the public - driving and pedestrian. Speeds in excess of those posted are supposed to be reserved for EMERGENCIES. I have rarely seen a presidential motorcade moving at speeds greater than those most of the rest of us would drive at (though I haven't seen any motorcades since GW Bush took office - so things may be different for the "do as I say, not as I do" crowd). The television press needs to start taping these people flying around town and put it on the air.

Gov Corzine: Since you and your arrogant trooper/driver consider yourself above the law of man, no one is above the laws of physics. Remember Science 101? Inertia? Momentum? Put your seat-belt on, like I tell my 8 year-old. And tell your numb-nuts driver to drive like he had some sense.

Typical government and law enforcement hypocrisy. If an ordinary citizen was driving that fast and crashed they would get a ticket for speeding, probably loose their license, and be charged with a crime for injuring someone. And the injured passenger would probably get a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. How can a trooper "not realize how fast he was going?" That excuse doesn't fly when a regualr person gets cuaght for speeding.

This is all Imus' fault. Corzine wouldn't have been speeding if Imus hadn't shot his mouth. Let's keep piling on Imus for this. The media sure is.

What a moron? Typical cops thinking they can do whatever they want...dont worry, flash your badge & say "I'm on the job". Better yet, flash your lights for no freakin' reason and fly down the highway at 90+mph. Drivers will get out of your way, right? That wont cause an accident. Nice job!

The rich and famous usually get away with this kind of behavior but once in a while....... Just glad they didn't kill some innocent person or family. I think Corzine deserved every bruise.

I feel nothing for this maggot who is Gov.. He got what he deserved!
Cheers
