Former White House homeland security advisor Tom Bossert discusses the delta variant surge.PORTLAND, Maine -- Motorists put the pedal to the metal during the pandemic and police are worried as roads get busy with the final stretch of summer travel.
Traffic data indicates the higher death toll was related to higher average speeds in conjunction with more of those on the roads driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol and a slight decline in seatbelt use.“People are flying down the roads,” Maine State Police Cpl. Doug Cropper said of summer traffic on Interstate 95. “It's just ridiculous.”
“There is continued concern about the rise in speeding and aggressive driving as we enter the heart of the vacation travel season and increased traffic volumes on the highways," said Beau Duffy, spokesperson for New York State Police.With police distracted by civil disobedience and scaling back routine stops for safety, the lightly traveled roads quickly turned into the wild west in many places.
Fred Ashmore said New York was a “ghost town” as he sped away in May 2020, topping out at 159 mph and averaging about 108 mph over the 2,806-mile trip.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sounded the warning early in the pandemic about speeding and reckless driving.
Proven fact everyday drivers can not handle vehicles. What was the seatbelt use ratio?
Here we go again. The usual 'speed' fundraising technique. Top tip: You can blame any crash on 'speed' because in order to hit something you have to be moving.
this is terrible news
This tweet is brought to you by cash starved departments everywhere about to dig for your wallet.
Roads must be in good shape! Dont need the infrastructure bullshit bill!
Omg. Speeding!? Say it isn’t so! Speed limits are there for the lowest common denominator. The most inept idiot behind the wheel. Most competent drivers can comfortably drive far above the speed limit. It’s become purely revenue generative
People are driving like health insurance is free.
100% this is related to the increase in incidents in planes. For a certain group, (right wing non-maskers, etc.) they feel like they can do whatever they want and be as rude as possible.
Really? The pandemic caused the most common law broken to be broken more? Take the NEWS out of your name, you people need to be called ABC entertainment. Your stories are faker than the WWE
In my neighborhood, they also decided that running stop signs is fine.
Nobody is Worried about speeders except cash hungry cops
