The driver tried to duck off on East Holly Road but the trooper caught up with him. The 17-year-old told police that he was driving so fast and passing other cars because he was late for his 9:30 p.m. curfew.

The trooper didn't give the teen a reckless driving charge, but they did give him a ticket for "138/70 and the SMH (shake my head) award."
