Then, earlier in the week, Sandy Springs police said one of its officers stopped a driver going 111 mph in a 65 mph zone on Georgia 400 northbound near the North Springs MARTA station.
That driver was issued a super speeder citation.
“That’s not just speeding—that’s applying for a role in a Fast & Reckless sequel nobody asked for," SSPD said. “The highway isn’t a racetrack, and your car isn’t a time machine. Slow down, drive smart, and help keep Sandy Springs safe for everyone.”
The drivers’ identities were not released.
