Corvette Driver’s 130 MPH Blast Reaches Nearly Triple the Speed Limit, Ends in Handcuffs highlights a Florida enforcement push under the state’s “Super Speeder” law after a Chevrolet Corvette was clocked at 130 mph in a 45 mph zone. The stop occurred on CR13 N near Joe Ashton Road in St. Johns County, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, which posted video of the arrest. The driver’s identity was not disclosed, and he was transported to the St. Johns County Jail. The officer told him he was arrested for “dangerous speeds” and placed him in handcuffs. Florida’s law treats excessive speeding as a criminal offense, with first-time penalties up to 30 days in jail and $500, or both, and repeat offenses up to 90 days and $1,000, or both. A separate recent incident involved a Lamborghini hitting 137 mph on the Florida Turnpike near State Road 408.
