Right, but the timing and way things are worded would lead me to believe that's not the case. He'd have gotten a DUI charge right away.

You are probably right, but we just don't know the details yet. What about timing makes you think it's not DUI? 12:20am sounds about right to me.

If it's not DUI, I'm still not sure how we know there was no intent.

Thomas was driving over 70 mph, more than twice the 30 mph speed limit, at around 12:20 a.m. near downtown Denver when his SUV went off the road and went airborne, flipping end-over-end, after hitting a median. The SUV landed on its wheels and one of his two passengers suffered serious injuries, the document said.

This feels hard to pull off on accident with no alcohol/drugs involved.

A little different wording here - driving without proof of insurance

Former Denver Broncos and Houston Texans receiver Demaryius Thomas was arrested and taken into custody Wednesday night on charges of vehicular assault, driving without proof of insurance and reckless driving, according to Denver police.

Thomas was involved in a single-vehicle rollover car crash in which a passenger suffered "serious bodily injuries" in Denver on Feb. 16.

EDIT: you also don't have to wear motorcycle helmets or use seat belts.

You’ll be fine unless you tell him you bought a pizza from Papa Murphy’s.

I might have a job in Oklahoma this summer and may need NTL's help.

Huh, would you look at that, actual footage of Vance Joseph's career trajectory. Level, speed into a ditch in Miami, only to be catapulted to new heights before crashing in a disastrous heap.

DENVER — Former Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas, who was taken into custody Wednesday related to a rollover crash earlier this month, will be released on a personal recognizance bond.

A judge made the ruling when Thomas made a court appearance on Thursday afternoon. Thomas was in a gray jumpsuit and was shackled for the hearing.

Thomas, who turned himself in, is facing charges of vehicular assault, reckless driving and not having proof of insurance.

Back before it was law, I told folks I was against the mandatory seat belt law. I said I should have a constitutional right to die with a steering wheel embedded in my chest if I so choose.

They were discussing this on The Fan - the car didn’t belong to DT - which perhaps explains the “No Insurance” part depending.

Although I don’t know what NFL player’s existing car insurance wouldn’t cover a vehicle he was driving regardless.

My insurance covers me if I'm driving someone else's car, so long as that vehicle is legal

The forefathers didn't put that in there.

If that's the case that he was driving someone else's car, and assuming he had his own auto insurance, then his insurance would most likely cover it.

If that's the case, then "no insurance" charges should go away. The arresting officer's would have had no way at the time to verify that DT had insurance.
