(KAIR)--A Nortonville teenager joins the dubious ranks of those clocked traveling more than 100 mph on Kansas roads.
Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a release says the 17-year-old, Sunday night around 8:00, was issued a citation for speeding 109 mph in a 65 mph zone located on US 73 Highway near Rooks Road.
According to Kansas Highway Patrol statistics, there's been, since 2013, a steady increase in the number of drivers in Kansas exceeding 100 mph. WIBW-TV reports that over the last four years, Kansas authorities have issued more than 10,000 tickets for speeders caught going over 100 mph.
The Kansas Highway Patrol has, for four consecutive years, pushed to increase penalties for those driving in excess of 100 mph, but the Kansas Legislature has yet to approve that proposal.
