You don't know that he was speeding, it could have been many different things. Maybe he swerved to miss a deer. It's just not very nice to assume, very disrespectful to his poor family.

Jamie Miller was NOT suggesting any wrong doing and was instead criticizing the initial commenter for their assumption.

Thank you Denton Newman Jr. Yes the comment I was referring to was removed shortly after I posted. I was not being disrespectful to the victim or his family.
