Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was pulled over for speeding in upstate New York after she was clocked going 119 mph in a 65 mph zone.
The New York Daily News reported Pirro was stopped by a state trooper in Tioga County around 1:15 p.m. Sunday.
Pirro, the host of "Justice With Judge Jeanine," said she was on her way to visit her ailing mother but vowed to "pay the consequences."
“I had been driving for hours to visit my ailing 89-year-old mom and didn’t realize how fast I was driving. I believe in the rule of law and I will pay the consequences,” Pirro said in a Fox News Channel statement.
New York's Department of Motor Vehicles says a conviction for going more than 40 mph over the speed limit could put 11 points on a driver's license. Eleven points will lead to a license suspension.
Sorry, NOT buying this. She couldn;t have been passing everything on the road like it was standing still. Come on. Does she expect us to believe this. Just take away her licenses.
Hell my v6 accord can handle that.whats the big deal ?
that made me laugh out loud...
. . . . and didn’t realize how fast I was driving.
Blowing by, at twice the speed and the closing speed of those going 65 did not give her a clue?
Route 17 on a Sunday at 1315 hours is full of cars. She was passing them at a ridiculous clip. So don’t give me that “I had no idea how fast I was going” BS. Just another “do as I say not as I do” celebrity.
Letting out some frustrations after getting feedback from her throwing Judge Moore under the bus(on Hannity)the other day, perhaps?
A state police spokesman says he doesn’t know what type of car Pirro was driving or whether she had any passengers.
For ‘hours’?....................

Things you only do once just to see.
Hot rod Lincoln?
Love JJ (as a “judge”) but she dresses 20 years younger than her age. It’s a little sad...
That’s up Syracuse way.... Tioga is on the border of PA and NY.
Modern cars are so much quieter inside than they used to be. It’s easy to be going much faster than you think. Especially in a modern luxury car, but even the cheaper cars are very quiet inside compared to a decade ago.
If the limit is 65, everyone is already doing 80-85.
Probably took him a while to catch up to her...
My father warned me about men and booze, but he never mentioned a word about women and cocaine.

Oh, no! That’s sad even for an 89 yo.
LOL
I agree. I once got a ticker for 71 in a 65 zone with a brand new car that truly was so smooth that I did not realize my error. Car also had auto speed control but this too was new to me at the time and I did not set it.
My only Volvo. But I got to go to class and not pay a fine.
At 119 I would have been taken to jail.
