Earlier this year, NBC 5 Investigates began looking into excessive speeding along Central Expressway and clocked some drivers going faster than 130 mph. Now, a little further up the road in Collin County, the Allen Police Department is working to take the highway back from extreme speeders, where driving 90 mph seems the new norm.
NBC 5 Investigates got into the car with Allen police officer Andrew Rembert to ride with him along U.S. Highway 75/Central Expressway and Texas 121/Sam Rayburn Tollway.
It didn’t take long before Rembert clocked drivers going at least 20 mph over the 70 mph posted speed limit.
Rembert said that’s only the beginning and that seeing drivers going 100 mph is not uncommon…
