A St. Augustine man was arrested Sunday after deputies say he broke Florida’s “super speeder” law.

Rafael Lopez, 62, was clocked driving 105 mph on Interstate 95 southbound near mile marker 283, which is just south of the Bunnell/Flagler Beach exit.

A person can be found to have committed dangerous excessive speeding under Florida’s “super speeder” law if they are driving:

In excess of the speed limit by 50 mph or more.

Driving at 100 mph or more in a manner that threatens the safety of other persons or property or interferes with the operation of any vehicle.

Lopez is seen on a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy’s body-worn camera saying, “My leg is killing me” and that his leg is “locked” so he was rushing to get to a rest area.

“I didn’t want to stop over here like that,” Lopez said, talking about pulling over on the side of the road.

What a lame excuse. Next time he's late for work, what will he come up with?
Officer I can't drive slow when my hemorrhoids are bothering me, it makes my ass seize up and hit the gas pedal.

When average traffic in the fast lane is 90mph...105 isn't really that fast. Highways in Germany and Austria this is par.

write him up for pulling to the left instead of the right side of the road as well. When did people start doing that stupid shit?

@Browser12 He's right on the yellow line! I'd take his license, arrest him and impound his shitty ecobox, but not tell him where impound was. Fuck this guy.

Btw, reckless driving has the same penalties as D.W.I. I'd do my best to make sure the D.A. sought enhanced sentencing. This guy is a liability.

I'm using that one next time.
Occifer, my leg locked up and i wasn't wanting to just pull over right here, so I sped up to 105 mph.

A couple of times when getting on the interstate I passed 110 MPH on the on ramp getting in front of cars , half a pedal. Accords are fast.

@tommix1 Yeah they are! Nice build quality, too. They make Teslas look like a Trabant!
