Florida Teen in Supra Cited for Going 132 on a Highway, Cop Calls Parents

This should go without saying, but do not go 132 mph in the express lane of a highway in broad daylight. If you do find yourself going that fast on public roads, like one 16-year-old Supra driver caught in Florida earlier this year, remember that radar guns exist to record your deeds.

A video shared by the Orange County Sherriff's Office in Florida starts after the Supra has already been pulled over. After the officer finds out that the driver is just 16, he tells them that the same speeds at 18 would have led to an arrest for reckless driving. Instead, he gives the driver a ticket and tells them to call their parents over to come pick the car up.

When they arrive, the officer tells the driver's parents that they were called in for direct intervention because he had once cited another young driver in a Mustang for excessive speed. In court, he said that the car was too much for a driver that reckless. As the officer claims to have later learned from the Mustang driver's lawyer, that driver was killed when that car was wrapped around a tree a few weeks after that court date.

To put a ticket for speeding at 132 mph into context, that number would have been just outside the top 50 speeding tickets in the entire state of Texas for the entire year of 2022. It is also just 23 mph off the car's official top speed of 155 mph, although stock current-generation Supras have been recorded at even higher speeds.
