Message Monday - Pandemic habits: Binge watching - yes Binge speeding - no
June 29, 2020
For many of us, the extra time at home these last few months meant watching a lot of TV. Many businesses and locations were shut down or workers may be doing their jobs from home, resulting in a significant reduction in the amount of traffic on Iowa roadways.
During this slow-down, law enforcement officers from state and local agencies remain out on the roads. What they are seeing is eye-opening. It seems some drivers see less traffic as a green light to significantly exceed the speed limit. Law enforcement stopping speeders at more than 100 mph used to be rare, but recently has become all too common.
