The highest speed limit in Texas is 85, but even that's not fast enough for some people.

The Drive, an automotive news website, recently published a list that included 228 tickets for driving over 120 mph in Texas. The data, obtained from the state Department of Public Safety through an information request, covers Texas Highway Patrol stops in 2018.

Most of the tickets went to people who were driving 122 mph to 129 mph. The fastest on the list was the driver of a Porsche 911 who was cited for 166 in a 75 mph speed zone in Carson County.

The list includes troopers' notes that give details about what drivers said after they were pulled over. One person's explanation: trying to save a minute on the way home. Another was angry about being cut off.

The list doesn't include fines, which DPS does not set. The penalties for speeding and reckless driving are determined by state statute, and punishments can be determined by the justice of the peace and courts in each county, DPS spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger said.

"These can vary based on the circumstances and precedent in a particular area," she said.

Below are the top 10 tickets from the list that were issued in Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, Denton, Tarrant, Parker, Hunt

Wise counties.

A Honda CBR motorcycle was reportedly leaving other traffic "way behind" as it went 134 in a 70 in the eastbound lanes of the turnpike about 11:30 a.m. The trooper's notes say the driver "did not realize he was going so fast."

Dallas North Tollway: 74 mph over

According to the trooper's notes, there was "no emergency" that would have prompted the driver of a 2010 Infiniti G37 to be going 134 in a 60 at about 8 p.m. on the tollway in Frisco.

The maps were generated using coordinates provided in the data. It's not always clear whether they mark the spot where the driver was stopped or a nearby place.
