We know it sucks, but ALL the blame cannot be put on the Acura driver. But I do hope he gets prosecuted for all his charges to prove a point for all the other morons that go way too fast on 85, and it's not just the japanese car drivers, I've seen BMW's and other cars go in excess of 100mph weaving in and out on I-85 and I-75.
That bolded part, while correct, is not an argument. All that needs to be proven is that he acted in a reckless manner. Multiple independent witness statements plus the police investigation should prove this beyond a reasonable doubt.

I do not believe that it is state law to wear seatbelts in a limo-type vehicle, either.

I believe that the evidence will show that the SUV lost control because it was side-swiped by the RSX...time will tell on that one.
