Operation Southern slow down started today and Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and maybe one other state. I didn’t hear on the news it will last through Sunday you will see more police on the highways and the roads trying to catch speeders.

That is on top of the new Florida law, as of July first, which states you will be arrested if you are driving 50+ MPH over the posted limit or over 100 MPH. I saw on the morning news that they recently arrested a man for driving over 100 MPH on his motorcycle.

When I was driving over to Cocoa Beach last month I was passed by a sporty car that had to be doing well over 100. I was following another vehicle and driving the posted limit of 70 and this car passed us in a blur. If I had pulled out to pass the vehicle in front of me I would not have seen them in time. This is not an unusual occurrence on the 528 either, especially in the stretch where there is little development and few exits. I hope the new law helps in this respect.
