DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody Police have a warning for the public after a driver was clocked going 113 miles per hour on I-285 Monday morning: "It is NEVER okay to drive 113mph." 

And the speeding was observed through a construction zone, no less.

"The driver was arrested and transported to Dekalb County Jail for Reckless Driving and Super Speeder," the email said.
