The push for safety on Sandy Springs roads has hit another gear following the citation of a driver caught traveling at a breakneck 115 mph on GA 400, where the posted speed limit is a much more modest 65 mph. According to WSB-TV, the Sandy Springs Police Department clocked the driver late Monday night during a traffic monitoring operation on the southbound lanes of the highway, leading to a citation for being a super speeder, a category the Georgia Department of Driver Services reserves for those pushing 75 mph on two-lane roads or 85 mph on multi-lane thoroughfares.
This traffic stop is only the latest in a series of high-speed incidents on this particular section of GA 400, which raises concerns about chronic speeding and its potential consequences, less than a week before, officials had ensnared another driver flying down the highway at an even more alarming 143 mph in a 2023 Cadillac CT5-V, as FOX 5 Atlanta reported, their radar didn't lie, capturing the triple-digit speed which was shared with the public to emphasise their zero-tolerance stance towards reckless driving.
While the names and precise details of these super speeders have not been made public, the message from Sandy Springs police is clear and unequivocal. "We want to remind everyone, speeding and reckless driving will not be tolerated in Sandy Springs," officials said, a sentiment echoed in the photo of the radar capture shared by police, serving as a jarring visual reminder of the seriousness with which they view these transgressions.
