High Speed Highway Rollover
Just saw the vehicle on Copart: Link. As usual, @_Allegedly is way ahead of me and I think posted pics already.
When I saw the pics, the hair (the few remaining) on the back of my head stood up. Incredible how well they were protected in that event. Super glad they were able to walk away.

I went to FL this last week and good god do y'all treat I95 and I94 like the Daytona speedway. I'm going 80 in my Polestar 2 and get passed simultaneously on left and right like I'm standing still, so fast I couldn't even register what cars they were. Wish it was a single occurrence too, but boy I95 y'all treat the far left lane like the slow lane and the middle and right like a passing lane, was crazy. watched that vid again and I saw a number of lane changes and passing on the right, was nuts.

Wow crazy video. Did they ever tell you how fast they were actually going? Obviously based on that dash cam footage they were speeding but I am curious how fast they were travelling above the speed of the average traffic. I am wondering if they were travelling the speed limit how much less flipping there would have been.
I grew up in Florida and most of my experience observed a very wide range in driver speeds. Some people go very slow (could be in a passing lane) and some people go very fast. Passing on the right is a necessity there as there are many people who simply will camp out in passing lanes and not move regardless.
Someone above mentioned there are people who did it to police speed limits and I have had people tell me that before. My son had a seizure a few weeks back and I ran every red light (as safely as possible) and used the highway to get the ER as fast as possible. People have no idea why someone else might be speeding, so not sure why anyone should try to control other people driving. If someone is coming up fast on you move out the way and soon they will be far away from you.
