As we always say...take it to the track.

But, not sure he remembered that being DWI, not that he's ever been at a track.

I'm sure he knew better than to be drinking and driving regardless of how entitled he is or how much money he has.

I get the impression it could have been due to distracted driving.

Distracted driving at 138 mph?

I'm a pretty accomplished driver, but if I'm doing those speeds, there is NO WAY IN HELL I'm on a cell phone or otherwise distracted. Naturally, I'd never be on a cell phone while driving anyways, but this was a clear case of a drunk "super star" showing off in the wee hours, and he killed someone. I'm glad the Raiders dumped his ass.

Didn't hear that but haven't paid much attention since it first happened. Witnesses said it looked like he lane changed into the other car? To me that doesn't sound like a high speed loss of control.

If he was driving a C-4 he would have only been going 85mph.

There's video of this now. Definitely hauling ass. I'd guestimate around 4X the speed of other cars. Unless he's looking forward to prison he'd better get a name change and start wearing a dress.

The handful of times I might have allegedly been going that fast, I experienced tunnel vision, laser focus on what was right in front and a small peripheral area on either side.

165 mph when I passed the Viper in this vid. Wide open track with sober drivers who know what they are doing. NFW would I try that in a congested area, never mind at 2x legal alcohol level.

The D-A added more charges, 2 felonies and a misdemeanor - additional counts of DUI and reckless driving —both resulting in substantial bodily harm — and possession of a firearm while under the influence, a misdemeanor.

Ruggs faces up to 40 years behind bars if convicted of the DUI counts.

The stupid asshole.

Typical of someone who doesn't give a shit, he needs jail time and his monies given to the victim's family, that'll teach his ass.
