The desire for speed persists, even at the age of 85. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office recently stopped a Nissan Z driver for reportedly reaching 110 mph in a 45 mph zone, but that's not all. He was also accused of racing a Chevy Corvette on the highway.
As reported by WKMG News 6, the Nissan driver denied the street-racing claims, but he was still arrested and charged with “engaging in a vehicle race and dangerous excessive speeding.”
“I wasn’t street racing,” Bosworth allegedly told the deputy, according to Fox 35 Orlando. The officer replied, “Well, you might not call it street racing; you might call it highway racing, road racing. Whatever you want to call it … we do not support that here in Lake County.”
The Corvette driver, who is 57 years old, was reportedly stopped separately. He also contested the street racing accusations, asserting that his car (a 1998 model) is too old to achieve the claimed speed, but he was ultimately arrested as well. Both drivers were released on bail afterward.
The Drive intentionally refrains from disclosing the names of individuals involved in these traffic incidents, although referenced reports may include them.
