Some of y’all just can’t keep the pedal from the metal, can you?? The Iowa State Patrol is reporting yet another case of a driver traveling in excess of 100-miles-an-hour on an interstate highway. Iowa State Patrol Trooper Ryan Devault, says it’s not a case of losing track of your speed. Then there is the cost of going so fast.

Trooper Devault says incidents of persons traveling in excess of 100 miles an hour began occurring in 2020 as COVID restrictions kept more people off the roads. He says as COVID cases are declining and people are feeling more confident about hitting the road, fewer people are speeding, but they are still seeing cases of excess speed. Motorists have been clocked speeding as high as the low 140’s in some cases.
