> at more than 41 mph across the island

Is Staten Island like Hawaii, where everyone drives slow? Because they're talking like 41 mph is super fast, but to me it's not that fast at all (here the interstate is 70 mph, arterial city streets are 40-50 mph, and people regularly speed).



If you get a camera ticket at 41 mph it's because you're driving in a zone where the limit is 30 which sounds pretty residential to me. Is that more or less dangerous then doing 76 mph on a highway? I don't know, it's the difference between hitting a pedestrian and another car so less dangerous for you but more dangerous for the other person involved.


Seems like they should have phrased it differently, like "...he pilots a 4,800-pound RAM 1500 truck at more than 41 mph across through residential areas..."
