Florida Sheriff Schools Corvette Driver Doing 130 MPH in a 45 MPH Zone

A St. Johns County Sheriff’s deputy in Florida pulled over a Chevrolet Corvette driver caught allegedly traveling at 130 mph in a posted 45 mph zone, according to bodycam footage released by authorities. The driver was arrested under the state’s Dangerous Excessive Speeding law, which criminalizes exceeding the speed limit by 50 mph or more, or driving faster than 100 mph in a manner that endangers people or property. The incident occurred on CR13 N near Joe Ashton Road. The deputy’s first words to the driver were blunt: “What the hell are we doing?” The arrest was made after deputies recorded the Corvette traveling 85 mph over the limit. The driver was taken to the St. Johns County Jail. Florida’s Super Speeder law imposes severe penalties for such offenses, including up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine for a first conviction. Authorities have not released the driver’s identity or indicated whether additional charges will be filed. The case remains under investigation, with allegations yet to be proven in court.
