(Iowa City, IA) – Traffic enforcement officers no doubt hear a lot of reasons why someone was speeding. On Sunday, the Iowa State Patrol pulled over a driver on Interstate 80 in Johnson County for going 122 miles per hour. A photo on the Patrol’s Facebook page officially shows the speeder having reached 120 miles per hour. The unidentified driver said he was “almost out of gas and needed to get back to work from his lunch break.” The Facebook post also says that driving at such high speeds “tends to consume more fuel compared to driving the speed limit.”
