(KRON) — The drivers of six different sports cars were busted for racing at speeds faster than 100 mph along San Francisco freeways July 13, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Drivers in a Ford Mustang, Toyota Supra and four BMW sedans were first seen driving recklessly on the northbound side of Interstate 280 near Geneva Avenue, according to CHP.
'[The cars] were reported to be traveling over 100 mph and weaving in and out of traffic,' CHP said.

The cars continued onto the northbound side of Highway 101 when CHP officers spotted them. The officers pulled two of the cars over as they switched from Highway 101 to eastbound Interstate 80 toward the Bay Bridge.
'The Ford Mustang and a BMW M4 were observed by [officers], who respectively initiated enforcement stops on those two vehicles,' CHP said. 'The Toyota Supra and the three additional BMW sedans continued onto the [Bay Bridge].'
Two more CHP officers tracked down the remaining four cars and stopped them on Treasure Island. All six drivers were ticketed for traffic violations, including unsafe speeds and mechanical violations. One of the BMWs also had expired registration and the car was towed from the scene.

CHP called the ordeal 'a prime example of improper driving behavior and what not to do on our public roadways.'
'We are all for going out and enjoying a Sunday drive with friends,' CHP said. 'However, everyone has to drive in a responsible and safe manner. The posted speed limits are not suggestions and are set to help ensure optimal safety to all motorists, while also minimizing potential injuries to every man, woman, and children traversing that particular roadway in the event of a traffic crash.'

Jeanine Pirro confirmed as U.S. attorney for D.C. as Trump and Democrats trade barbs

WASHINGTON — Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro won Senate approval to become U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia on August 2 as Republicans raced during a weekend session to confirm a long list of President Donald Trump's nominees. Pirro was confirmed in a party-line vote, 51-45. Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Democratic Sens. Ruben Gallego and Peter Welch did not cast votes. The conservative television star has been serving in the role on an interim basis since May, when Trump withdrew his previous nominee, Ed Martin, amid Republican criticism of Martin's support for Jan. 6 rioters. Trump granted clemency to the rioters on his first day in office. Pirro was the elected district attorney in Westchester County, New York, and a county judge before she joined Fox. She hosted "Justice with Judge Jeanine" on the network for 11 years and was named in a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems that ended in a $787.5 million settlement. More: 'Judge Jeanine' Pirro pushed election falsehoods. She's Trump's pick for D.C. prosecutor. Days before Pirro's confirmation, Trump directed lawmakers to postpone their summer recess and clear a backlog of nominees whose confirmations had been delayed by Democrats over objections to his agenda, including judicial nominees. The president reversed course amid the marathon vote session on Aug. 2 . In a post on Trump Social, Trump accused Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of "demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees." "This demand is egregious and unprecedented, and would be embarrassing to the Republican Party if it were accepted," Trump wrote. "It is political extortion, by any other name. Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL! Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country." Schumer blasted Trump at a late-night news conference, where he accused the GOP president of throwing in the towel "in a fit of rage" and refusing to negotiate.
