Summer Speeding Patrols Snare 228 Lead-Foot Drivers

Local law enforcement agencies handed out 228 speeding tickets while recently looking out for lead-footed drivers.

David Wright with the Whatcom County Traffic Safety Task Force says the speeding drivers were busted during emphasis patrols between July 15th and August 7th.

“We had Canadian drivers, Whatcom County drivers, and drivers from Oregon and California,” said Wright. “We don’t care where you’re from: if you’re speeding in our state, you’re doing something that you shouldn’t be doing.”
