A Michigan man's need for speed landed him a stack of citations after he was caught ripping down a local road in his 2003 Ford Mustang at a nerve-shredding 125 mph, police said. The 24-year-old from Grand Ledge was spotted on Thursday by a trooper from the Michigan State Police's Lansing Post, performing what was described as reckless vehicular acrobatics in a parking lot before hitting the gas on Michigan Road, according to a report by FOX 2 Detroit.

The Mustang driver, tearing through Eaton Rapids Township, pushed the muscle car to more than double the 55 mph limit. The state trooper gave chase and promptly slapped the speedster with citations for reckless driving and, notably, speeding 125 in a 55 mph zone. "Speeds that fast are not safe for anyone," the Michigan State Police First District commented on the incident in a social media post, as noted by WWJ Newsradio.

Despite the high-speed antics, no injuries were reported from the incident, which unfolded just before 7 p.m. local time. The red Mustang's joyride came to an abrupt halt when the trooper effected a traffic stop and confronted the rogue driver with his road indiscretions. "The driver sped away on North Michigan Road near Bunker Highway, reaching speeds of 125 mph. The trooper made a traffic stop and issued citations for reckless driving and speeding, 25-plus over the 55 mph speed limit," confirmed the Lansing State Journal.

The legal repercussions awaiting the Grand Ledge thrill-seeker underscore the seriousness with which Michigan law enforcement regards such flagrant traffic violations. In a society where everyone is always in a hurry, incidents like this remind us of the consequences when speeding clashes with the rule of law.
