Sen. John Fetterman got two speeding tickets before Sunday’s crash, Pa. records show
Pennsylvania police have issued Fetterman two speeding tickets for going at least 24 mph over the posted speed limit.
Fetterman (D., Pa.) has received two speeding tickets in his home state — the more recent one of which was in March for exceeding the speed limit in Westmoreland County by 34 mph. Before this year, he was ticketed in April 2016 for going at least 24 mph above the speed limit in Warren County, according to state public records.
The senator’s aides have said Fetterman has texted and FaceTimed while driving, ”prompting concerns among his staff and fears about riding with him,” the Post reported, citing three people with knowledge of staff discussions who spoke about internal conversations on the condition of anonymity.

Oh no, Speeding! He’s unfit for the senate. Better have him resign. Can’t have bad drivers in Congress.
Oh no, breaking the law and endangering lives!
@mr_rusty_shackleford @DrunkEngineer It's quite telling that for a lot of people in the US breaking the law and putting people's lives in danger is no big deal, even risible, if you do it in a car.
How do you know he's a bad driver? He might be a really good driver who just drives recklessly anyways because of a lack of concern about the wellbeing of others and chooses to ignore basic safety despite driving abilities.
I think you have conflated good and skilled.
A skilled driver can speed excessively without being out of control. A good driver won't speed excessively because it isn't safe.
I mean, he literally crashed his car.
If you drive enough, its likely to happen at some point. If everyone can walk away from it, that seems like a good outcome to me.
You need to make your sarcasm incredibly blatant on Lemmy. If you think it's pretty obvious, you gotta make it twice as obvious.
No I think everyone gets the sarcasm.
Not in my experience, I just got a deadass reply in my inbox before this one to an incredibly obvious joke. Good to hear this is seemingly the exception.
I think at least 21 people didn't!
No I'm pretty sure they did. Sarcastically dismissing this extremely fucked up behavior as politically motivated sniping is really fucking stupid.
No... They did.
