2016 Dodge driver racks up 180-mph speeding ticket on Michigan freeway

The I-75 route around Sigler Road, Michigan between Detroit and the Ohio state border is one of the straightest highway sections in the region. It doesn’t mean that should used as a test ground for land speed records, but a dinghy has certainly not followed this advice and they have collected a large ticket.

Michigan State Police posted a serious ticket on their Twitter account this week. The tweet, which has since been cleared to protect the driver’s identity, showed that on April 19, that person was quoted for driving 180 miles an hour in a 70-mile zone at 11:45 p.m. Local time. That’s 110 miles an hour above the speed limit, or 2.6 times what Johnny Law would prefer. With MSP, you can usually get away with 80, which is the average traffic flow in southeast Michigan, but 180 is not really within the tolerance range.

According to MLive, the caught up with the Michigan State Police After this extraordinary traffic obstruction the driver did Follow and stop thanks to several soldiers posted in front of the officer who first noticed the serious speeder. It is unclear whether the driver was simply quoted and asked to appear in court, or whether more serious measures such as confiscating the vehicle were taken. The Michigan State Police did not immediately return a request for comment.

With quarantine arrangements that most people keep in their homes, some car enthusiasts have taken the lack of traffic as a kind of green light to take to the streets and possibly do more extra-legal activities than usual. It is worth noting that there have been some burglaries in reported crimes during this period, which means there will be More idle cops hanging around, if at all. In fact, I saw myself as a Detroit man a lot of patrolling the area dutifully from MSP. Save it for the pull tabs – when they open again. In the meantime, drive safely. The last thing that first responders need is unnecessary crap.
