BOW — A Massachusetts man driving at 134 mph was among 23 drivers who were stopped for excessive speed during a traffic enforcement initiative conducted by the New Hampshire State Police.
On Saturday, June 21, Troopers assigned to the New Hampshire State Police Special Enforcement Unit, Troop D barracks, and Troop C barracks, conducted a traffic enforcement initiative on Interstate 93 northbound in Bow.
Over three hours, Troopers in the State Police aircraft observed 34 motor vehicle violations.
Of these violations, 20 drivers were observed traveling 90 mph or faster, and three drivers were observed driving recklessly at 100 mph or faster.
At 7:15 a.m., State Police dispatch received a 911 call reporting several sports cars traveling northbound on Interstate 293 at a high rate of speed.
Shortly after the 911 call, a Trooper in the State Police aircraft observed the cars traveling through the Hooksett tolls.
As the cars approached the rest area, one of them sped up rapidly, passing several other vehicles.
The Trooper in the aircraft observed the car, a white 2016 BMW, driving at 134 mph.
The Trooper continued to observe the vehicle, relaying its location to Troopers on the ground.
Trooper Derek Myrdek spotted the BMW and conducted a traffic stop.
The driver was arrested and identified as Robert W. Low, 32, of Webster, Massachusetts.
Low was arrested on a charge of reckless driving.
He is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
Minimum penalties for reckless driving in New Hampshire include a $620 fine with an additional mandatory penalty assessment and a 60-day revocation of a driver’s license.
The standard fine for traveling 86 mph or higher is $434.
