RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia State Police are conducting a two-day traffic safety campaign along Interstates 81 and 95 this weekend.

Officials say Operation Air, Land and Speed comes as Virginia continues to experience record decreases in traffic-related deaths. As of Friday, 83 traffic fatalities have been reported to the Virginia State Police, compared with 104 at the same time last year.

The first operation of 2010 will begin Saturday and conclude Sunday night. Police will target aggressive drivers, speeders and impaired drivers.


Since the operation's inception in 2006, there have been nearly 114,200 summonses and arrests along Virginia interstates.

 

I drove down to Richmond yesterday for the PCA first settlers region breakfast and I counted no less than 12 cops on the way down from the Fredericksburg interchange. I had set the cruise control to 76mph and wasn't concerned, but still, they had a big show of force just in that 40 mile long stretch between Rt.3 and I-295!

I'm glad I don't have the lambo back yet because I was completely unaware of this

 

I didn't go near an interstate this weekend

 

Safety my ***. Revenue enhancement more the truth.

 

Nah, more like decent weather is finally here and they can get out of their cars and not freeze! Well okay there's probably a push to pay for all the road salt and plow work they had to do...

 

This is another one of their hidden taxes. Its all about the money.

 

I feel safe!! Wahoo! Thanks VA.
