Teens admit hurling burritos, peanut butter from car at other motorists

This is a guy who works for me, he is the brother of the driver. Apparently this is the 2nd or 3rd time he's done it but of course I didnt hear anything about it until today. I've done some stupid things in my life but nothing quite as bad as going 30+ over the speed limit on I-5 (big west coast freeway for those east-coasterners) and throwing peanut butter and burritos at passing traffic.

It's a shame I didnt get to find this out from him, I found it out from another guy who works for me and he (the guy who did it) wont be back in until after christmas.

I'll give this a 😀

30 over on I-5 is nothing. 20-25 over is the normal flow of traffic.

Not at night while it's pouring down rain, it's been very rainy the past week and the roads are awefull at night.

Even on nice days I would say it's more like 10-15 over in the Portland/Vancouver area.

No of course not, now if he had called in sick and I found this after the fact the story would be differant...

I think we've all done some stupid things in our lives, all I plan on doing when I see him is to give him a hard time and maybe chuckle a little.

You may want to re-think your position. If he was did it during working hours, and he caused any traffic problems, YOU would be liable for the damages.

He didnt, sorry if that was unclear, this was on his own time...

Thats a lil much, notfred. Along the I-5, speed limit is 70 (i think) along most of central Cali. 30 over would mean 100mph. Isn't that considered reckless driving and not just speeding anymore? I think 90 should be the fastest most people go unless passing.

If he was an employee of mine, I would have fired him on the spot.

My employees represent my business, do something foolish and your history.

most of I-5 (except for LA and Sacramento) is 70mph, yeah. It's got to be one of the flattest, straightest roads in the world, though, which is why everyone cruises along at 85-90mph. Even the semi truck drivers are doing 75. 100 is really hardly faster than the flow of traffic.

Have you driven I-5?

This is a University, and he's just a work study so he doesnt reflect in quite the same way our full-time staff do. How did you act your freshman year of College?

Who knows, maybe working here has made me soft 😉

BTW the speed limit on I-5 in the city is 55, if you go further north of Vancouver or south of Portland it goes up to 65.

Never had the chance to go to college, I worked hard in my younger years and worked my way up.
