I Can't Be Late
Danielle DaSilva, a 37-year-old woman from New York was caught speeding the other day. She was going about 102 miles per hour. In the car with her, a male passenger and her two-year-old.
DaSilva was driving an SUV, so going that fast in a car like that isn't the greatest idea. She was eventually pulled over by a police officer. When asked why she was driving so fast and recklessly, Danielle told the cop the truth...she was late for a "Thomas the Train" event happening. Mind you this wasn't at night or in the middle of the day, it was at 8:30 in the morning.
The Charges
Danielle DaSilva was arrested. She was charged with reckless driving, reckless endangerment in the second degree...risk of injury to a minor...and she failed to stop on the right side of the road, so tack that charge on as well. DaSilva, the Brooklyn native was released but it was on a $500 bon, according to NBC New York.
