Series Returns Thursday, June 11, at 8 p.m. (ET)

For seven seasons, truTV's hit series SPEEDERS has kept audiences glued to the screen with its front-seat access to the excuses and outlandish confessions that cops hear from drivers every day. Thursday, June 11, at 8 p.m. (ET), the series will hit high velocity when it launches its eighth season with its 100th episode.

SPEEDERS features incidents from across the country, from Las Vegas to Tampa. Law enforcement officers determined to keep the roads safe find themselves contending with motorists who react to being pulled over in hilarious, desperate, or just plain bizarre ways.
