BAY LAKE, Fla. – A driver and a motorcyclist were arrested for excessive speeding on Walt Disney World property in separate incidents just days apart, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
According to an arrest affidavit, the first incident occurred on Oct. 1 when Layton North Browning Jaynes, 32, was stopped on Epcot Center Drive near Buena Vista Drive. Jaynes was driving a light blue Porsche 911 at 117 mph in a 50 mph zone. The officer conducting traffic enforcement estimated the speed and confirmed it with a laser device.

Jaynes told deputies he believed he was going about 80 mph and was unaware of Florida’s excessive speeding law, known as the “Super Speeder” law, the affidavit states.
Jaynes was cited for dangerous, excessive speeding, expired tag, and failure to update his address on his driver’s license. He was taken to the Orange County Jail without incident.
On Oct. 7, Ryan Daniel Schulz, 31, was arrested for speeding on the same stretch of road and by the same deputy involved in the previous incident.
According to an arrest affidavit, Schulz was driving a black Yamaha MT-10 motorcycle at 144 mph in the 50 mph zone, with the deputy again using a laser and radar to confirm the speed. Schulz said he was running late to work and was unaware of the “Super Speeder” law.
