Slow Down / No Need 2 Speed:

11/13/2007

Wayne Whitley, Director of Safety and Dan Summitt, President of Swing Transport were present at the Hillsborough Scales today as Governor Mike Easley announced that the N. C. State Highway Patrol and the Governor's Highway Safety Program are kicking off Operation Slow Down/No Need 2 Speed to catch speeders on North Carolina's highways. Local law enforcement agencies will join troopers from now through November 25 to encourage drivers to slow down and follow the speed limit.

"North Carolina law enforcement will be going after speeders who recklessly endanger our citizens," said Easley. "We lost 554 of our citizens last year due to speed-related crashes. I urge motorists to slow down and obey the speed limit."

Stepped-up enforcement and patrols will be conducted across the state, focusing on motorists speeding on interstates and major four-lane highways.

Also present was Rick Cates, Director of the North Carolina Safety Council, Bryan Beaty, secretary of the state Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, Colonel W. Fletcher Clay, Commander of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, Major Jamie Hatcher, North Carolina State Highway Patrol, Jim Woodall, Orange County District Attorney and Darrell Jernigan, Director of GHSP.
