    Here’s an idea. For every mile over the speed limit, make them run stadium steps and I don’t mean one step for every mile. If they go 15 miles over the speed limit, they run 15 stadium steps a day in the lower sections for 15 days straight.

    Kind of a “double jerk” move parking in the space and skipping his court date. He seems to be a fairly reckless rule breaker who needs to grow up and respect authority. I apologize if this is his first screw-up, but my bet it isn’t

    Go Dawgs!!!

    I'm aware of that, however you can ask these players to voluntarily abide by some additional rules that the team captains working with the coaches institute. Something has to be done because it is not working now (the whole education thing).

    I know driving is considered a priviledge and the university could institute a set of guidelines for all students that require them to report to the student board if the violations warrant it. I have no problem seeing a student board taking away driving priviledges in university areas to include parking spaces for repeat and serious offenders. They are a threat to other students and people with their careless/reckless driving.

    Not sure why this is so hard to figure out. Why shouldn't a repeat reckless driving student be punished?

    Didn't this kid just get out of high school? He's only been driving, what a year...2, maybe, if he had a car.

    His parents had him...Kirby's got him. Give him time to work. Dang!

    Hell...I did 92 along with 11 other cars on 95...just yesterday...and, we were passed by several vehicles, including a semi.

    So, I think I got him beat. You divide the risk of getting "stopped", between 8-12 other vehicles...but, he's young and don't know. Lol

    I agree you need to be careful and let these kids grow up and hopefully they will learn quickly.

    Just a note Clarke County Police are pulling over people who get on their phones at red lights and giving out tickets especially to student age persons. So if you live in the area as I do, do not pick up your phone and text anyone at a red light in Clarke County. It's a 50 dollar ticket fwiw.

    Be Safe Out There!

    These guys continue to embarrass UGA. Obviously we’ve got a bunch that don’t have a whole lot going on upstairs.

    This is happening across the country & is certainly not limited to UGA athletes or any other institution. It’s an epidemic within the 25 & under male demographic. High school to young adults. From athletes to “mathletes” & every one in between, kids are playing Russian Roulette with vehicles & high speed. There are thousands upon thousands of videos on YouTube, Instagram, TicToc, etc… of kids driving at high speeds, racing, doing donuts, & dangerous stunts both on & off road. They feel immortal, invincible, & have zero respect or concern for authority. The real concern at UGA, these guys just lost a team mate & friend due to this sort of stupidity & if anything the problem has escalated. Maybe the solution is to build facilities where these kids, with some safety equipment, can go destroy as many cars as they want in an enclosed environment.

    All true...but, reporters don't really care about facts. They're pesky things that get in the way of a good story...or, in this case...a good narrative. I feel shame and embarrassment for even reading this crap. I'm done...gotta go take a shower, now. Lol

    BTW...I don't believe the magnitude of the problem in the <25 demographic, has fluctuated one iota, since before I was a kid.

    There's just more focus on it, since the accident that took young lives. There always is. Everytime a kid gets killed in a car accident, here where I'm from...cops troll for speeders hard, hoping to slow people down for a while. Then, everything reverts back to normal, until "the next time".

    If you, or anybody else can find a solution to that problem...maybe they should give, "curing Cancer" a shot.

    I've suggested planting decoy police cars along busy highways and/or problem areas. That slowed speeders down, effectively in some areas along the I-95 Corridor. So...there's that. I offered a viable solution to a known problem. Nothing more I can do. Kirby, either...so, I don't see the point.
