An 85-year-old Florida man is charged with racing after deputies clock him at 110 miles per hour on U.S. 27 alongside a Corvette.
Lake County sheriff's deputies stopped William Bosworth, then 85, on U.S. 27 near Leesburg on June 13, 2026, after clocking his Nissan 350Z at 110 mph in a 55 mph zone alongside a Corvette driven by Philip Signorino, 57, who was allegedly going 125 mph. Bosworth insisted he wasn't racing and was only speeding up to get away after the Corvette swerved into his lane, but he was charged with racing and violating Florida's 'super speeder' dangerous excessive speeding law. He was sentenced to a year of probation, a $500 fine, a driver improvement course, and a one-year license suspension, and later said the viral attention over the arrest left him 'devastated,' adding, 'I'm not a street racer.'
