The Alexandria Police Department urged drivers to slow down after saying a driver was issued a ticket earlier this week for going 112 miles per hour in a 55 mph speed zone.
Police said an Alexandria Police Department officer was on his way to work on Wednesday when he issued a citation for the driver going over twice the legal limit at Van Dorn Street and I-495.
The charge was listed as reckless driving for speeds in excess of 85 miles per hour.
Doing 112 in a 55 mph speed limit? Are you serious? True story. Yesterday on his way to work, an APD officer issued this citation to someone at 495 and Van Dorn going TWO times the speed limit. Slow down. There is no need to put your life or someone else's in danger. pic.twitter.com/is5eMLQDcc
