Livermore Driver Gets 2 Speeding Tickets In 11 Minutes: CHP
The tickets probably cost the driver $400 to $500 apiece, according to the California Highway Patrol.
LIVERMORE, CA — A driver on Interstate Highway 580 in the East Bay managed to rack up about $1,000 in traffic fines Monday afternoon with two speeding tickets in 11 minutes, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
The California Highway Patrol first stopped the driver of a 2014 Nissan Altima at 12:30 p.m. for traveling 90-plus mph on westbound Highway 580 near Grant Line Road and the Altamont Pass, according to CHP Officer Tyler Hahn. The same car was pulled over by a different officer 11 minutes later near Greenville Road in Livermore for going 103 mph, Hahn said.
The CHP tells drivers to slow down after handing out speeding tickets -- not to speed up, Hahn said. The tickets probably cost the driver $400 to $500 apiece.

"That was an expensive 11 minutes," Hahn said.
If you get a ticket at 12:30 for 90+ would you speed up so you get another ticket by a different Officer at 12:41? Don’t worry, this person is consistent as the second ticket was for 103mph! So many things to say...I’m sure you’ll respond with some good stuff pic.twitter.com/hilJyVpZ98
