An 85-year-old cigar-smoking Florida man has been accused of street racing and hitting over 100 mph before being pulled over and telling police he was only out enjoying a late-night drive in his “favorite car.”

The incident happened at around 11:30 p.m. on June 12 when an officer from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office clocked Williams Bosworth’s Nissan 350Z convertible racing a red Chevrolet Corvette in a 45 mph zone in Leesburg, about an hour outside of Orlando, CBS12 reported.

Body camera footage obtained by WKMG News 6 shows an officer approaching Bosworth’s car after being pulled over, demanding that he turn off his car while puffing on a cigarillo.

The deputy then tells the 85-year-old that he clocked him at 110 mph and the Corvette at 125 mph.

Bosworth tells the officer that the other driver “swerved” at him and he was only driving that fast to get away from them while he was “out having a ride in my favorite car.”

“Listen, Mr. Bosworth. I wasn’t born last night,” the officer tells him. “I know what street racing looks like when I see it. You guys were street racing.”

Bosworth remained adamant to the officer that he wasn’t street racing.
