Troopers: NY Driver Charged After Hitting 134 MPH PAWLING, NY (AP) ¯


State police say a 23-year-old man clocked driving at more than 130 mph on an upstate New York road is facing multiple traffic charges.

Police say a trooper spotted Michael DiBernardino's 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer doing 134 mph in a 55-mph zone Tuesday afternoon in the Dutchess County town of Pawling, near the Connecticut border 65 miles north of New York City.

Authorities say he passed several vehicles on a two-lane stretch of state Route 22 before the trooper ended the chase when DiBernardino pulled onto a side road.

He was later found in the driveway of his nearby home and arrested.

I did 147 on GA 400 in a GS 450h ...the slightest movement at that speed felt like slow motion salsa dancing but I'm still around

Gotta be smart if you want to speed!

23 != kid

I was expecting the driver to be 14 or something.

1. 23 is not a kid.

2. With this and that DUI story I really think DMV needs to start giving out "common sense" test. People without common sense shouldn't be allowed to drive.

If he sped past a cop at 134, how did he get caught? There is no way a cop could speed up to that and catch him.

Ooops oh well not even going to say how much I was doing last saturday , it was more than that and luckily I slowed down because less than half a mile later a trooper was on left shoulder with laser. I passed him doing about 70mph, he looked at me laughed got in his car and pulled over someone else. I was super lucky. My oil temp got to 241 after that run . I parked SC and haven't touched it since
