The drivers of seven high-end vehicles clocked at up to 110 mph on the Long Island Expressway Sunday morning were pulled over and issued tickets, Suffolk police said.
The vehicles included three Porsches, a Bentley, a Ferrari, a Corvette and a Lamborghini. Police pulled the drivers over while they headed eastbound about 8:40 a.m. near exit 61, authorities said. Three of the vehicles were in the left lane and four were in the HOV lane, police said.
Exit 61 is located near Holbrook.
Police did not identify the drivers.
Four drivers were issued tickets for failing to display a New York State license plate on the front of their vehicles. One motorist was issued a ticket for an expired temporary Pennsylvania registration and driving outside of license restrictions placed upon him due to a prior insurance lapse.
Those ticketed are due in court at a later date.
