And today, a Camero going 137 miles per hour.
What’s worse, posting a pic of the radar locked in at 137mph, or a V6 Camaro.🤦🏻♂️ #drivesafenv #speedkills #slowdown #nhpsocomm pic.twitter.com/MnEWg1m0BB

Troopers are reminding everyone to slow down, saying that speed kills.
They're also praising the DUI Strike Team, which they say got this wrong-way driver off the road.
They tweeted a photo that shows a blood alcohol content of .168, which's more than twice the legal limit.
Great Job by the DUI Strike Team to get this wrong way driver off the road before they seriously injured or killed someone. #duistriketeam #lasvegas #drivesober #nhpsocomm pic.twitter.com/EpWQNLXpwj
