A 49 year old co-worker was cited as he ran through the gears this morning. He was lasered at 108mph in a 55mph stretch of two-lane, rural highway. Conditions were not adverse (daylight, clear visibility, light traffic, dry pavement, etc.). No racing was involved...and he has a clean driving record.
The stop was routine...the officer issued the ticket and went on his way. There are no specifications marked on the citation (speed unsafe for conditions, etc). A court appearance next week is mandatory due to the nature of the offense.

QUESTIONS:
- Wouldn't 50+mph over the limit automatically be considered wreckless driving?
- Is he just going to get a steep fine and be sent on his way?
- Any reason for him to lawyer-up?
