Sacramento Kings basketball star Tyreke Evans was stopped by the CHP this summer in Sacramento for going 130 mph on Interstate 80. That raises the question of how many drivers rocket down Sonoma County roads at 100 mph or even faster.

There’s no way to know out for sure, but statistics from the CHP offer some insight.

CHP Officer Jon Sloat said that last year the CHP ticketed 23 people for driving faster than 100 mph in the county and so far this year have cited 13. He said those numbers don’t include drivers going 100 mph who wind up being arrested on reckless driving charges.

For those convicted of going 100-plus, Sloat said most lose their license for about 30 days as part of their punishment. Fines for such speedsters can be around $1,000.

He estimated about 85 percent of the speeders are men, mostly under age 25. And now that Highway 101 is three lanes from Rohnert Park to Windsor, he said, “it is getting more prevalent now” for 100-mph speeders there.

CHP chase policy pretty much leaves it up “to the individual officer as to when to initiate and terminate a pursuit. It is up to the officer to determine if the conditions/speeds, etc., are such that they should discontinue a pursuit. It also can depend on a risk vs. gain model, risk of pursuing vs. gain of stopping that violator,” Sloat said.

Sonoma County’s speedster count pales in comparison to the Sacramento area, where the CHP reported catching a total of 83 drivers doing more than 100 mph in May and June.

As for Evans, the NBA star pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to three years of informal probation and 80 hours of public service and his license was taken away for 30 days. And if you’re wondering if Evans, because he’s a celebrity, got a break from prosecutors and the court, a Sacramento Bee inquiry found that he probably didn’t.
