Watch that speedometer

Virginia State Police have announced that 75% of their patrol force will be working this holiday weekend as part of the Operation Combined Accident Reduction Effort (Operation C.A.R.E.), a program “designed to decrease crashes, fatalities and injuries caused by speeding, impaired driving and the failure to use occupant restraints”.

From the VSP news release:

With more troopers on the road during the heavily-traveled holiday weekend, Virginia State Police are reminding motorists to comply with VirginiaÔø?s Ôø?Move OverÔø? law (Code of Virginia 46.2-921.1), which requires a driver to move over to another travel lane or, when not able to, to slow down when passing emergency personnel stopped out on the road. Violation of the law carries a punishment of up to $2,500 fine and/or 12 months in jail.
…
This yearÔø?s 120-hour Thanksgiving statistical counting period begins Wednesday, Nov. 21, and ends at midnight Sunday, Nov. 25, 2007.

    From the follow-up release:

    Despite ongoing efforts to reduce traffic fatalities around the Commonwealth, the number of fatal crashes remained high for the 2007 Thanksgiving holiday. Preliminary totals reveal 16 people were killed in 15 traffic crashes during the five-day statistical counting period. Traffic crashes during the 2006 Thanksgiving holiday period also claimed 16 lives.
    …

    The 2007 Operation C.A.R.E. program yielded the following summonses and/or arrests by Virginia State Police statewide: 11,869 for speeding; 2,918 for reckless driving; 159 for driving under the influence; 918 for not wearing safety belts; 222 for not using child restraints; and 5,736 for other hazardous violations.

    Operation Air, Land and Speed Phase IX

    During the busy holiday season, Virginia State Police is taking steps to keep motorists safer with another Operation Air, Land & Speed safety campaign. On Thursday, Nov. 29, and Friday, Nov. 30, 2007, drivers can expect to see an increase of troopers both in the air and on the road along Interstates 64 and 66. This will be the first time this concentrated traffic safety effort has focused on Interstate 66 in Northern Virginia.
