"Does anyone really think you can stop a car going 75 MPH on 75 feet of a grassy surface?"

I thought the same. 75 feet is not very far, certainly not far enough to stop the momentum of a vehicle at highway speeds. And even if this guy was drunk, a sober driver isn't going to regain control of a vehicle on a grassy, uneven surface. That "more than enough room" statement is ridiculous.

But 54 years old drinking Fireball??? That's a frat boy alcohol.
