[VIDEO] God is Okay with Pat Robertson Driving 100 MPH in his Corvette

If you’ve been worried about driving your Corvette too fast, you might want to listen to the words of televangelist Pat Robertson.

On a recent edition of The 700 Club, a viewer told Robertson about her husband’s insistence on driving above the speed limit, even when he was on time, and his view that God doesn’t care if he speeds.

Robertson admitted he might be the wrong person to be asking such a question.

“You’re asking a guy that had a Corvette with a 430 horsepower engine, who is now driving a car that has about a 650 horsepower engine,” Robertson said with a laugh.

“Who also drove 30 laps around the Charlotte Motor Speedway in a stock car.”

Robertson pointed out that traffic laws are designed to regulate traffic.

“I don’t get tickets, I pay attention,” Robertson said. “But there was one night up in the mountains, when it wasn’t anybody around a four-lane highway late at night, and I did get that little bug up a little over 200 mph.”

“Two hundred!” co-host Terry Meeuwsen exclaimed.

Robertson backed off and said he meant to say 100 because the car won’t go 200.

On the other hand, the televangelist said he thinks it is a sin to hurt somebody as well as a sin to drive recklessly. “If your driving imperils other people,” he said, “you are sinning, there’s no question about it.”

On the other hand, there are places where he feels driving fast would be okay, for instance, on an open stretch of road in Texas or some areas where there is no speed limit at all.

“But the whole idea of traffic — it is… sin or not sin — it is to regulate the flow of traffic to keep people from hurting each other,” Robertson said.

Motorists in some countries, such as Portugal, drive like “nuts,” said Robertson, who described their driving as sinning.

“A guy you’ll be driving with, he’ll be driving along at 50-60 mph, he’ll get to an intersection and thinks all he’s got to do is blow his horn,” he said. “And just keep on going.”

Robertson concluded his answer to the speeding man’s wife with this comment: “Don’t imperil anybody else with the way you drive a car, and be careful.”
