> A driver caught going 80 miles per hour over the speed limit
on a slushy Illinois road was not only pulled over and arrested
Sunday night — she was publicly scolded by the Illinois State
Police for the "ridiculous" act.
>
> Illinois State Police slammed the careless driver in a
Facebook post on Monday morning, warning others on snowy streets
to drive carefully and watch out for others who are not
following the rules of the road.
>
> "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
advised in the post, which has since been shared nearly 2,000
times.
>
> The police shared a snap of the woman's speeding ticket, which
revealed she was traveling 115 miles per hour in a 35
mile-per-hour zone. The woman, who has not yet been identified
by state police, was pulled over on Market Street in Champaign,
according to WMAQ-TV.
>
> Hundreds of people commented on the post, thanking the police
for sharing the important reminder.
>
> "Thanks for posting so I can show my hard headed 16 y.o son
who thinks it’s cool to drive 30 mph in 25 mph zone. It’s the
speed LIMIT, not suggestion. I’ve made him get out and walk
several times. MOMMA 👏🏽DON’T
👏🏽PLAY!!!" one mother commented.
>
> "She’s lucky to have been stopped before something terrible
happened. You most likely saved her life last night," another
woman added.
>
> "This is crazy, always worries me how other people drive, they
don’t realize they aren’t just putting themselves in danger but
also others," a third Facebook user replied.
>
> State police didn't release the charges but confirmed the
woman was arrested and jailed on Sunday.
>
> "#ThatsGoToJailSpeed," the police added.
>
> Illinois officials are warning locals to be extra cautious
while on roadways this week as a winter storm blasts the Midwest
with blizzard-like conditions and freezing temperatures.
>
> "A dangerous week of cold air and travel conditions are coming
up," Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean said Monday.
"Snow and ice will coat even the Deep South Tuesday through
Wednesday, which will make travel incredibly difficult and
possibly crippling."
>
> Illinois State Police are urging drivers to allow extra time
to get to destinations, reduce speeds and watch out for black
ice.
>
> "The men and women on patrol will be facing an extra degree of
risk to protect the lives of all motorists in this severe
weather," Illinois State Police acting directory Brendan F.
Kelly said in an online statement Monday. "The fewer drivers on
the road, the fewer accidents, and the safer everyone will be.
Please do them, and all first responders, a favor by staying
home or if you must drive, do so with extra care."

I rolled a vehicle doing the speed limit on a state highway when
I hit a patch of ice I wasn't expecting on an otherwise clear
road. This girl (and I use "girl" deliberately) was arrested
doing twice the speed I was.
She was lucky.

I am highly disappointed I am going to have to go dig to find
her crying mug, the fool, one thing to kill herself but
situations like that usually involves a lot more people
edit: no mug yet only ticket
