Uuummm, slow down a bit folks, the consequences really aren't worth it!
As the saying goes, everything's bigger in Texas. You may know that the Lone Star State currently boasts the highest speed limit in the country: 85 mph, reserved for a stretch of State Highway 130 between San Antonio and Austin. And so it holds that Texas would also have some America's fastest speeders as well. In what's becoming one of The Drive's favorite holiday traditions, the Houston Chronicle posts an annual list of the most outlandish speeding tickets from across the state over the past year. The Texas Department of Public Safety provided the details of 230 tickets issued on the state's major routes and highways in 2017, all of which were above 120 mph.
But even when it comes to lead-footed lawbreakers, some are more determined than others. The vast majority of those drivers were clocked between 120 and 138 mph, while only twenty were foolhardy enough to venture above those speeds on public roads. And even though catching a reckless driving charge and getting your ride impounded doesn't quite count as a "win" in our book, someone has to come out on top as the fastest speeder in the land, notoriety be damned.
