Lauren Boebert Caught Driving 19 MPH Over Speed Limit, Fails to Pay Ticket on Time

The Colorado congresswoman was busted on Vail Pass on Mother's Day.

Earlier this year, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was caught on Vail Pass going 84 miles per hour in a 65 miles per hour zone by Colorado State Patrol, leading to a $174.50 speeding ticket and a scheduled court appearance for July 26 after she failed to pay the fine on time.

The House representative didn't contact Eagle County District Court until July 3 to finally pay off the May 12 ticket, according to the Clerk to the Court's office, after finding out she had a court date scheduled this month because she failed to pay.

"Tickets that aren't paid to the state before their twenty-day deadline, they'll get sent to the court," a clerk tells Westword. "Her case got forwarded to the court, we opened a case, and she took a standard plea offer."

Boebert was caught on a Sunday — the morning of Mother's Day — traveling westbound on Interstate 70 in a black Mazda CX-50 near mile marker 189, according to police.

3. "Do you know who I am?"

I cannot be expected.........

4. In her case "Do you know who I am?"

would be followed by "Allow me to demonstrate."

5. Think of all the mileage she claimed in an earlier campaign and got reimbursed for.

6. So if the speed limit was...

65 - 75, maybe 85, she was going way too fast. On the pass no less.
