A driver going 129 mph on a Hayward-area freeway was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving Tuesday night, Nov. 3, after a blood alcohol test showed 0.209, the California Highway Patrol's Hayward office said.
Why it matters: That reading is about 2.6 times California's 0.08 legal limit. Two officers on speed enforcement spotted the Dodge Charger, and the stop turned into a DUI investigation, KRON4 reported.
What CHP said
CHP Hayward shared a photo of the test result on social media. "Speed limits are NOT suggestions," the agency said. "Saving a few minutes isn't worth a lifetime of consequences," Patch reported.
CHP did not say which freeway the stop was on, identify the driver or say what charges the driver may face. No crash or injuries were reported.
