The Michigan vs. Ohio rivalry is about more than just college football. Residents. of the two states have always had a mutual distaste for each other, so when an Ohio driver disrespected some traffic laws by pushing their 2016 to the limit, they naturally headed north of the border to the pleasant peninsula. Michigan State Police clocked them at 110 miles over the 70-mph speed limit.

This happened at 11:45 p.m. on April 19 on southbound I-75 in Monroe County, according to . While MSP officers do drive some fast cars, the quickest in their stable with a top speed of 149 mph is the . To catch this fast fiend, police had to get ahead of the speeder:

MSP tells MLive there were other troopers in the area further down the freeway to help and the driver did stop for them.

Speeding at these levels is crazy dangerous on public roads, and not just for your dumbass. Not to mention right now is not the time to pull ambulances and doctors away from treating Coronavirus patients. At the very least, if you’re from Ohio, go speeding through your own dumb state.
