Richard's Gone Mad!

Richard, a good deaf friend of mine, showed up unexpectedly at the Vlog/Blogger Conference at Gallaudet recently this past Saturday on his way to London for his business trip. I am sure a few of those who attended the conference had the chance to meet with Richard. His driving, *ahem*, skill on the Autobahn in Germany is known among his circle of deaf and hearing friends. The Autobahn is known for it's allowed high speed driving. Even at 164 mph doesn't faze him (check out the video for proof) while he drives his high-powered V-10 Volkswagen Phaeton on the Autobahn. Too bad the United States does not have such a highway, unless you want to try and count Montana as one which introduced a paradox. It produced one of the lowest fatality rate for the state.

In 1999, after 4 years of no numerical or posted daytime speed limit on these classifications of highways, outside of urban areas, Montana recorded its lowest fatality rate.

Ok. Now, should deaf people be allowed to drive at high but allowed speed?

Note. That was a rhetorical question.

If you thought Richie was crazy. Consider this biker on the Autobahn hitting 300 km/hr which equates to 186 mph! Talk about a human land missile! He'd be a speck of dust in the rearview mirror and by the time you look again he'd whizz by you.
