This driver took “flyover state” just a little bit too literally. A woman with a need for speed was clocked doing 137 mph in the rain while driving a sleek white Ferrari 488 Spider through Iowa. The Iowa State Patrol posted a photo of the traffic stop to Facebook showing the shockingly high speed the driver reached on the cop’s radar gauge as she was caught barreling through Mason City. The maximum speed limit on any Iowa road is 70 mph, so the driver, who rented the Ferrari, can face massive fines. Police reportedly told the speed queen “It’s not a good idea to drive this fast in the rain.” The woman then actually stated that she thought she was “only driving around 100 mph.” (https://goo.gl/9o4ASX)
