FHP clocked the driver, 34-year-old Tan Nguyen, going at 123 mph in a 55 mph zone, according to an arrest affidavit.

TAMPA, Fla. — A “super speeder” arrest was made after a driver was going almost 70 miles per hour over the speed limit on the Howard Frankland Bridge, officials said.

The Florida Highway Patrol said a trooper was conducting traffic enforcement around noon Sunday when they saw a black Honda Accord driving at an “extreme” high rate of speed.

FHP clocked the driver, 34-year-old Tan Nguyen, going at 123 mph in a 55 mph zone, according to an arrest affidavit.

Nguyen is charged with dangerous excessive speeding,

Last year, a “Super Speeder” law went into effect, targeting drivers going 50 mph or more over the posted speed limit, or who travel at 100 mph or higher, regardless of the speed limit. 

Under the law, those violations are no longer infractions — they are now criminal offenses.

The first offense can carry up to 30 days in jail, a fine of $500 and a mandatory court appearance. 

A second offense within five years could mean up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, along with a license revocation of up to one year.
