More drivers going 100 mph, troopers say
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — In a Facebook post this week, South Dakota Highway Patrol said more drivers have been pulled over going over 100 mph… including one who was clocked at 105. Those speeds not only pose a risk to the person behind the wheel. 'Especially the driver, because he's, you know, he or she's driving at that speed. The passengers that are in that vehicle, as well as motorists that may be around, or even pedestrians that may be around in those areas that those high speeds are being noticed at,' said Parker Bailey, a state trooper with SD Highway Patrol. Hassan, Noem lock horns over habeas corpus And a ticket may not be the only outcome. As speeds increase, so do the consequences. 'Depending on the speed and the nature of it, we could be discussing reckless driving where you may get arrested, you may have your vehicle towed. Severe consequences may even be felony charges, depending on what's going on with it,' said Bailey. If you happen to see someone going at a high rate of speed, Bailey says you shouldn't try to stop them. 'If you see those dangerous drivers around you, please don't intervene. Sometimes we have people that try and intervene and that just creates a risk to themselves. Also, just call 911, report the information that you have and then we can be on the lookout for those drivers,' said Bailey. And as Memorial Day approaches, troopers have a message for anyone on the roads: 'Just making sure that you are driving safe and giving yourself extra time, making sure that you are you or you have someone that's sober driving for you. Just the standard motor vehicle safety that we continue to reiterate. Make sure you start your holidays off safely,' said Bailey. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
