An 18-year-old Canadian man was ticketed Tuesday driving a Tesla over 100 mph down Main Street in Newtown while recording the trip for social media, police said.
Newtown Police Chief Tom Synan said the Telsa was clocked at 118 mph in a 25 mph zone, but by the time of the officer caught up to the driver he was driving 101 mph in a 35 mph zone.
"Not only were they driving 93 mph and 66 mph over the limit," Synan said. "They were also distracted recording their recklessness on Snapchat."
Synan said the driver was speeding on Main Street between the United Dairy Farmers and Roundbottom Road just before 2 a.m.
The driver from Cambridge, Ontario was cited with reckless operation of a vehicle.
"There is a time and place for everything," Synan said. "In the center of our community is not the place or the time."
