She waived the case, which is now closed, and paid $50 as the first installment of a $240 fine for the traffic violation after receiving a verbal warning for racing.

    Honestly, I’m shocked it could get going that fast.

      Imagine being the guy in the Mustang watching a USPS van keep up with you.

    It was the Metris van, not the LLV. Thats how she was able to get it more than 55mph.

    I’ve driven an LLV on the highway (had no choice on my old route) and even at 55 it’s terrifying. Everything rattles, the motor screams and the steering wheel is going all over the place.

    Give this guy a promotion.

    If cops are allowed to go 105, USPS drivers absolutely should, they have a much more dangerous and socially valuable job.

        Not exactly. The body is built by Grumman, the mechanicals are by GM and based on the S10.
