Hartland man accused of driving 145 mph on I-94

Posted: Jan. 3, 2005

Caledonia - A 25-year-old Waukesha County man tore into the new year - at 80 mph over the speed limit - and wracked up a possible $1,230 in traffic tickets, the Racine County Sheriff's Department said Monday.


Timothy M. Knick of Hartland was pulled over while driving a turbo-charged Subaru WRX on northbound I-94 near Highway K for driving 145 mph in a 65 mph zone, Sgt. Brian Londre said Monday. That ticket was for $863, and another for reckless driving added $367, for a total of $1,230, Londre said.

The new year was barely five hours old at that point.

There was no evidence that Knick had been drinking.

"That's a good thing," Londre said.

Tickets have been issued to many people for exceeding 120 mph, Londre said, but he hadn't heard of anyone reaching 145.

Court records show Knick was found guilty of speeding in Milwaukee County in 1999 and twice in Waukesha County in 1997. His record at the state Department of Motor Vehicles, which clears citations after five years, is clean.

Knick will have an opportunity to contest the new tickets in Racine County Circuit Court. He could not be reached for comment.

My life would've ended if I got caught like he did.
I agree...why New Year's Day? Out of 365 days, he chooses one of the worst days to speed and on 1-94 too. Why not max out in the country side where there are no cars or cops...haha.
