Two Disney World Drivers Arrested Under Florida 'Super Speeder' Law After 117 mph and 144 mph Stops
The arrests illustrate early enforcement of a statute that makes driving over 100 mph a criminal offense on a heavily traveled resort roadway.
Overview
- Orange County deputies arrested Layton North Browning Jaynes, 32, at 117 mph on October 1 and Ryan Schulz, 31, at 144 mph on October 7 on Epcot Center Drive near Buena Vista Drive.
- Both men were charged under Florida’s new “Super Speeder” law, which took effect July 1 and carries up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine for a first conviction.
- Court records show both defendants pleaded not guilty, and their cases remain pending.
- Arrest reports say the drivers did not realize the conduct could lead to arrest; Schulz told deputies he was running late to work, and both men received additional citations for documentation issues.
- Epcot Center Drive is a main artery used by thousands of guests and employees daily, and local reporting notes nearly 100 bookings statewide under the law since it went into effect.
