Lamborghini pulled over on Highway 154 for going 152mph, driver faces misdemeanor charge
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. – A California Highway Patrol officer pulled over a Lamborghini speeding 152mph Tuesday morning on Highway 154, where the posted speed limit is 55mph.
CHP said the driver was not arrested, but received a citation for reckless driving and will face a misdemeanor charge.
"SLOW DOWN!!! 154 is the State Route NOT the speed limit," said CHP in a Facebook post. "We know how tempting it can be to 'open it up' when your car is fast and the weather is beautiful, but save it for the track!"
CAUGHT AT 152 MPH ! The CHP in Buellton stopped this driver from Los Angeles Sunday on Hwy 154 in the Santa Ynez Valley where the speed limit is 55 mph. I wonder what the outcome will be in court? (No vehicle impound due to staffing issues.). (Photos: CHP) pic.twitter.com/S5wcxi1d3t
