(WFTV) - If you’ve seen super speeders on the roads lately, you’re not alone.
One driver in central Florida got busted driving more than 50 miles per hour over the speed limit.
Running radar along Florida 417 near Colonial, an Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled over a driver in a Dodge Charger. The driver was going 133 mph in a 70 mph zone.
Scat Pack or SRT?

He should have been put on his knees and summarily executed!

DeleteLately I've begun noticing an increase in aggressive driving, speeding, and downright rudeness on the roads here in east Tennessee. I think it may have something to do with a lot of folks moving here from other, less 'enlightened' states and they are bringing their terrible driving along with them.
ReplyDeleteNothing good happens when libtards move into the neighborhood

I’m seeing the same thing on the WNC side. We blame it on all the Yankees moving in from NY and Florida
DeleteYep. Same thing.
Deletethe guy shoulda said: "Sorry officer, it's my science class project. I was just seeing how fast I had to go to break the sound barrier at sea level". Cops like it when it's about furthering one's education.
ReplyDeleteIf it is a limited access highway, what's the big deal?
ReplyDeleteThey say "speed kills", but they're wrong. It's the sudden stop at the end that does all the killing.
ReplyDeleteI've done speeds like that before, but always late late at night on deserted highways with no one else around. If I wrecked, I'd simply lay there until the morning traffic and hopefully someone would call it in. Back when the speed limit was 55, the state troopers would automatically arrest anyone going over 100. Which explains the 99 mph ticket I received. Someone didn't want the extra paperwork at the tail-end of a shift. I don't drive like that anymore, too much traffic and I go to bed way too early to ever see a deserted highway anymore.
I've been ticketed a few times for 100+ speeds. My current record is 120 in a 55. Only reason they wrote 120 was because that was as high as his speedometer went when following me.
ReplyDeleteI don't drive like that much anymore, but only because my reflexes are slowing.
133? That's crazy. I never go more than 110-115.
ReplyDeleteHad a job at college driving for Hertz, all the cars rented at JFK and driven out to the end of Long Island greatly exceeded the number of cars rented and driven back to JFK.
ReplyDeleteTo be nineteen and given the keys to a high performance car, the Mustang Mach I comes to mind, and told the faster you made the trip the more trips and the more money you'd be paid.
Not being from LI I didn't know the roads, but I figured I'd just follow the other drivers back.
What I didn't realize was that the other drivers were mostly all stock car racers, looking to get some paid practice time.
Don't know for sure how fast the car and I got up to, the point came when I didn't dare take my eyes off the road. And I stayed with the rest of the pack. Poster child for young and stupid.
That sounds like paradise to me.
DeleteYeah driving fast is a thrill , but shit can get ugly quick at triple digit speeds , a deer or cow wandering out could really spoil the mood !
ReplyDeleteOcean city,'Md was in passenger seat of a buddy's 1969 gto judge rat racing w/Plymouth road runner at 120mph roadrunner does quick lane change to reveal station wagon doing 55. Gto does quick slip to side of road to reveal a surfer w/ board on shoulder right in front of us walking on side of road. GTO buddy threaded that needle like a boss. No one injured. Gto buddy later went on to become a united airlines pilot. Apropriate I think.
ReplyDelete200 feet per second, roughly. If your reaction time is around 300 msec (about average) you'll cover around 65 feet BEFORE you can do anything and something like 200+ feet before any action you can take will significantly alter your trajectory. Which is to say you'd better be looking 300+ feet down the road for a problem, but not missing anything closer. A pothole could -and probably would- kill you. Or anything crossing the road in front of you (a pedestrian or crossing driver would SEE you, but be unable to estimate your speed accurately). Personally, I'd make it automatic loss of license for at least 5 years, plus a huge fine, confiscation of vehicle and mandatory, every year for 5 years safety training. For a first offense. Second time, permanent loss of license and felony jail time.
ReplyDelete128 in a 40 is going to jail. Trying to impress a girl… WORTH IT!
