This is a good example of journalism as we have come to know it these days.
"A highly skilled driver calling himself AfroDuck claims to have set the record for fastest lap around Manhattan last week, circling the island in just 24 minutes, averaging 66 mph. "
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/09/watch-a-guy-drive-around-manhattan-really-fast.htmlAGAIN - the video states that he went south on FDR from 116th back to 116th.
That isn't circling the island - it's about 1/2 of the island.
Crap - I've never been to NY but I do have Google Earth and I can read.
I don't know what the speed limit is but probably 40mph. Maybe he did 45-50mph in places. Just like me.
Is this an example of how the police investigate? They look stupid and incompetent.
It's no wonder people get scammed so easily. They don't even read what the guy wrote.
