Israeli tourist Boaz Sinuani turned a Flagler County stretch of I‑95 into a personal drag strip on Tuesday, hitting 114 mph. When Flagler deputies finally pulled him over, he argued he was late for a flight and that Israel has no highway speed limit. Officers dismissed the excuse and booked him under Florida’s super‑speeder statute.

Florida’s super‑speeder law levies fines up to $500 and can trigger license suspension for drivers exceeding posted limits by 25 mph or more. The 114‑mph run underscores how reckless speeding inflates auto‑insurance claims and can tarnish the state’s reputation among international visitors, who may assume foreign driving norms apply.

Lawmakers may use the incident to justify expanding radar checkpoints and tightening penalties, a move that could boost revenue for state traffic‑safety programs. Insurers will monitor any surge in super‑speeder citations as a leading indicator of premium adjustments, while tourism boards stress the importance of educating visitors on local traffic rules.
