MIAMI COUNTY —Law enforcement across Kansas continue to report driver traveling far above the posted speed limit.
On June 20, a Trooper stopped and cited a driver for 143 mph in a posted 75 mph zone on U.S. 69 highway in Miami County, according to a social media report from the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The reason for this speed, according to the post, the driver was late for work.
"Driving fast does not zip you through some time loop! You’re already late!" That time doesn’t come back when you drive fast. And now you’re sitting on the side of the highway a little more late."
"If you’re late, you’re late. It happens. Call ahead and let someone know, but please stop driving like this."
The Patrol thanked Trooper Schultz for getting this driver stopped before they hurt themselves or someone else.
