The speed limit in that area is 55mph, state police said. The 18-second video showed the speedometer of the car, which had a Chevy emblem on the steering wheel, accelerating from 56mph to 133mph, the report said. The social media posts were set to allow the general public to view the video, state police said.
The video showed the driver’s reflection, which indicated he was a white man with visible tattoos on his right arm and that he was recording his speed with his cellphone in his left hand, state police said. Tavella admitted during a conversation with state police that he had taken the video as he was driving the car on Route 7 in Norwalk on March 26, the report said.
