In Florida, motorists face jail time for driving over the speed limit by 50 mph or for driving at 100 mph or more, earning them the title of "super speeders".

"Why were you going so fast?" a deputy can be heard asking Stanek in the video, to which Stanek responds, "I have an appointment with my barber."
