School Zone Speeding on the Rise…Celebrities Provide no Exception
I was checking the news and found a nice double whammy that I would like to discuss. School zone speeding is on the rise, at least in Carlsbad, New Mexico where CurrentArgus.com is reporting:
An increase in the number of complaints of motorists speeding through school zones has led to an increase in police traffic enforcement efforts by the police, according to the Carlsbad Police Department. Those efforts, in turn, are reflected in an increased number of school zone citations passing through the city’s municipal court.
Recently, the week between Sept. 3 and Sept. 10 saw 15 citations heard in court, with each guilty finding translating to a $128 fine for the motorist and mandatory time spent in Defensive Driving School.
The next article I read: Kardashian Ticketed for Speeding in School Zone. Even thought it wasn’t in New Mexico, Kim Kardashian, of pornography fame, was cited for speeding in a school zone. It just goes to show that even celebrities might get a ticket if they are in danger of running over a kid. In all seriousness though, I notice people flying through school zones constantly, and it is obviously just a bad idea. Let off the gas and coast through people.
