Got Ya! Sioux Falls Police Catch Speedy Driver Going Over 100 MPH

There are some drivers who tend to test the speed limits on the South Dakota roads, including streets in Sioux Falls. One South Dakota driver in Sioux Falls late last week really pushed a police officer from the City of Sioux Falls Police Department to its breaking point.

A traffic officer with the City of Sioux Falls Police Department caught a speedy driver going over 100 miles per hour in a 50 zone. Woah! Someone must have been in a hurry.

The City of Sioux Falls Police Department shared a photo on its Facebook and Twitter pages of the speed the Sioux Falls driver was going and how much this ticket for this offense was worth. Shockingly, this driver was going 106 miles per hour. Now that's burning some rubber!

So how much is this traffic violation worth? This unlucky South Dakota driver has to pay an over $500 ticket! Was speeding in Sioux Falls really worth it?

The social media post on Twitter from the City of Sioux Falls Police Department breaks down the expenses of the $515 ticket:

If a driver is caught speeding 26 miles per hour or over in Sioux Falls, the fine is over $232.50.
If a driver is caught Drag Racing on a highway, the fine is worth $282.50.

There is absolutely no reason why a driver should be driving this fast on the roads.

This explanation alone gives any Sioux Falls driver a fantastic reason to slow down and follow the rules of the road!

Iconic Sioux Falls: Phillips Avenue Diner, a Downtown Gem

I'll never forget the best malt I ever had. It was many years ago at a new restaurant in Sioux Falls. The restaurant was housed in a silver Airstream trailer on Louise Avenue and was called The Market Diner. The malt was so creamy and I think it was probably the first time I'd ever had whipped cream on top of a malt.

The Market Diner was a unique '50s-style dining experience with neon signs, classic vinyl booths, stainless steel counter stools, and even a jukebox.

That was over 20 years ago. The Market Diner became Dixie Brothers Grill and eventually closed.

A few years later, the trailer was moved to a downtown location on Phillips Avenue, extensively remodeled and renamed Phillips Avenue Diner. The malts have not changed, nor has the diner ambiance.

My niece Ashlea and I ventured downtown and had lunch at Phillips Avenue Diner. The menu includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites. It's diner classics turned up a notch.

The breakfast menu includes omelets, biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash, and of course waffles. Recently, Phillips Avenue Diner's waffles were named the best in South Dakota according to Food Network.

Ashlea had the Ranch Burger and it came topped with bacon, onion rings, American cheese, and BBQ sauce. She substituted sweet potato fries.

My selection was the Burger of Champions. You can substitute a chicken breast for any burger, so I had mine with chicken, Applewood bacon, ham, and American cheese. It also comes with a hard-fried egg on top, but I chose to hold that.

Eat local. Some of the best food and atmosphere can be found at local, non-national chain restaurants. Try Phillips Avenue Diner at 121 S. Phillips Avenue and explore downtown Sioux Falls while you're at it.
