MICHIGAN, USA — The Michigan State Police First District Department is urging drivers to avoid speeding even though there is less traffic on the roads right now.

On Tuesday, the agency posted a photo of a speeding ticket on Twitter and said a driver was cited for going 180 mph in a 70 mph zone.

"MSP wants people to know, just because there is less traffic on the roads & warmer weather, there are no excuses for speeding," the agency wrote.

Michigan State Police added officers have seen an increase in high speeds on roadways during this pandemic.
