Driver caught speeding 151 mph on I-70 in Kansas, faces over $1,000 fine, as Senate Bill 476 aims to impose stricter penalties for excessive speeding.

An article reports that on 2024-02-16, a 36-year-old driver was caught by the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) driving at 151 mph on Interstate 70, facing a ticket of more than $1,000. The same day, Senate Bill 476 was being considered by Kansas senators, which would criminalize driving over 100 miles per hour in the state and impose harsher penalties, including license suspension. The KHP saw a significant increase in speeds over 100 mph, almost tripling from 2013 to October 2023; the agency aims to raise awareness and curb reckless driving with the proposed legislation.
