Judith Slade, 81, from Australia was caught driving 164 KPH (nearly 102 MPH).

The Australian Herald reported that she was arrested and when asked why she was speeding she said “she did not wish to be separated from her secret lover, with whom she had spent the weekend.” Her lover is also reported as being “almost half her age.”

Slade’s car was impounded and the police were trying to get her license revoked. They also imposed a 30 KPM (nearly 19MPH). limit for her. Slade responded with: “What difference would it make if they took my licence from me? I’ll just buy more cars and they can take them away, too. I could buy another one now just to fight this and cruise past the police station, and say, ‘Here I am’.”

Although we don’t advocated speeding, we kind of love this woman.
