118 MPH on I-95? Yup, That’ll Get You Arrested

If you think Connecticut drivers go too fast already, wait until you hear this one. According to CT State Police, early Tuesday morning (around 1:20 a.m.), a state trooper in Stratford spotted a red Audi absolutely flying down I-95 south — we’re talking 118 miles per hour in a 55 zone.

That’s more than double the speed limit, and this wasn’t even on an empty back road, it was on one of the busiest highways in the state. And as if 118 (allegedly) wasn’t enough, police say the driver was tailgating and couldn’t stay in her lane. Not exactly what you want to see when you’re doing nearly 120 on I-95.

I know the state recently said they were going to try and slow down the excessive speeding on CT highways, but it hasn't seemed to give anyone, any pause. People are dipping out there in the wildest ways.
I think my wife Erica put it best on our recent vacation to the Dominican Republic when my father-in-law was speeding like a madman: “Can we maybe have some scenic vibes as opposed to Fast & the Furious vibes?”
