Speeding drivers targeted in "Operation Southern Slow Down"

Gotta behave for a week. LOL
(Carefully timed so as not to annoy tourists...)

Florida is joining four other states in "Operation Southern Slow Down."

The law enforcement initiative is a joint effort with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the southeastern states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee.


All five states and local law enforcement agencies will be conducting a week-long, July 17th to July 22nd, speed enforcement campaign. The Florida Highway Patrol will specifically focus on citing drivers who exceed the posted speed limits across the state's interstates.

Weekdays + saturday, working, not much on highways. Yeah!!

 

Lmao! That's everyone on the road here. What are they going to do? Pull over every single person? They'll be lucky if they get 1% of the speeders. I do 80mph and I don't even bother slowing down if I see a trooper. Most people still pass me like I'm going 55.

They'd be better off enforcing the left lane campers. At least that would help traffic flow and stop the weaving in and out.

 

Stop signs are optional. Start with those offenders first.

 

Not sure how it is down south, but we are in NYC for a few weeks and it’s a total joke here. People are using the shoulder as a lane and the driving is as aggressive as I’ve ever seen. This instagram is just idiots in NY driving completely recklessly

"Otano said, "You see a lot of people going 20,30, 40 or 50 miles per hour over the speed limit and they are often weaving in and out of traffic and that can cause crashes. They sometimes think there is no speed limit on the Xpress and it just means going fast."

So effing dumb. When is the US gonna realize speed isn't the problem as much as non-existent driver training and zero lane discipline? They just hand out licenses here and wonder why drivers are so bad.
Despite unrestricted speed portions on the German autobahn, the death rate is almost half that of the US. Yet people there drive very fast in the left lane because it's open and flowing and drivers get out of the way once completing a pass.


"...one woman who said her first name was Christine and who Otano said was cited after going 94 miles per hour in a 70-mile-per-hour zone..."

Gee, it's almost as if modern vehicles can easily handle higher speed safely than several decades ago where most speed limits are still stuck in, when a lady is going 94 supposedly without realizing it.
