Lauren Boebert Makes Excuse For Speeding In Police Body Cam Video

Police body cam footage captured far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) blaming alleged issues with her car’s transmission after she was pulled over for speeding on Vail Pass in Colorado in May.

“I was messing with my gears, and I know I ended up going, like, way too fast,” Boebert explained to an officer in a Colorado State Patrol video obtained and shared online by Fox 31 Denver .

The officer told Boebert, whose driving has been investigated before , that she “hit 90 for a second, but you were on the brakes pretty quick.”

Boebert was ticketed for driving at 84 mph in a 65 mph zone.

She didn’t pay the $174.50 fine within the 20-day deadline but later paid it after being scheduled to attend court, reported Westword .

Boebert last month won the Republican primary election in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, having left Colorado’s 3rd District following an eye-wateringly close contest in 2022 against Democrat Adam Frisch.
