Beyond 140 mph Consequences:
- Felony Charges: Speeds beyond 140 mph are considered reckless, highly dangerous, and result in serious criminal charges, often felonies.
- Jail or Prison Time: At such high speeds, jail or even prison time is almost guaranteed, especially for repeat offenders or if the speeding results in accidents.
- License Revocation: Driving privileges are typically revoked, often permanently.
- Insurance and Civil Suits: Your insurance rates will skyrocket, and there’s a high likelihood of civil penalties, especially if others are harmed.
Speeds in excess of 150 mph are exceedingly rare outside of race tracks or controlled environments and are treated with extreme severity by the law due to the danger they pose to the driver and others.
