'The Stupidity:' Woman Caught Driving 115 MPH In Illinois Snow

CHAMPAIGN, IL — Illinois State Police are warning residents about dangerous drivers out on the slick roads after a woman was clocked driving 115 mph in a 35 mph zone (80 mph over the speed limit) on area roads this week. Police said the woman was caught speeding near Market Street and Wilbur Avenue in Champaign Sunday night, while snow and slush were on the roadways. According to police, the woman was cited for "speeding more than 35 mph over the speed limit," and arrested for speeding before being put in jail.

However, the dangerous winter weather conditions clearly didn't phase her, as police posted the following to the Illinois State Police Facebook page:

"If you think we don’t patrol in town, you’re mistaken. And if you think you won’t get in a bad crash in town because the speed limits are low and you’re a good driver, think again. Just remember there are people like this driving next to you," police warned.

The ISP Facebook post has brought in more than 1,500 comments, including one Facebook user who wrote, "As said before, it never ceases to amaze me the stupidity — or maybe it is the arrogance of people that believe the rules do not apply to them."

"My daughter was doing 94 in a 55 ... I thought the court took it too easy on her with community service a fine court supervision....making her pay for the attorney is how I handled my end," another wrote.
