California Maximum Enforcement Period Results: Nearly 12,000 Speeding Citations Issued, 200 Drivers Caught Topping 100 MPH

Share

CALIFORNIA — California Highway Patrol officers issued 11,767 speeding citations during this week’s Maximum Enforcement Period, including 200 drivers caught traveling over 100 mph.

CHP used the numbers to reinforce the dangers of excessive speed. “Speed isn’t just a violation — it’s one of the leading factors in serious and fatal crashes. Every one of those contacts represents a situation that could have ended in tragedy,” the agency said. “When speed increases, so does the risk of losing control, reducing reaction time, and turning a mistake into a life-altering crash.”

CHP is urging all drivers to obey posted speed limits, adjust speed for road and weather conditions, and stay focused behind the wheel.
