Story summary

On August 16, a motorcyclist in Manassas, Virginia, about 40 minutes from Washington, D.C., was pulled over by the Manassas City Police Department for speeding at nearly triple the limit. The officer's body camera recorded the stop, which occurred at 10:43 a.m. when breakfast service at most McDonald’s locations ends at 11 a.m. The motorcyclist told police he was going so fast to beat McDonald’s breakfast cutoff that he had left without socks. Police clocked him traveling at 72 mph in a 25 mph zone, which is extremely dangerous and against the law. Though stunned by his actual speed, the man admitted to rushing and the officer warned about the risks of such high-speed riding.
