Nationwide Speed Crackdown Targets Drivers Over 40
The police are cracking down on fast drivers. New speed cameras and tracking devices are showing up on streets everywhere. They want people to drive more safely and follow speed limits. Too many crashes happen because drivers go too fast. Anyone caught speeding will get expensive tickets. Bad drivers who speed a lot might not be allowed to drive anymore. The police hope these new rules will make roads safer for everyone. They think drivers will slow down when they see the cameras. It’s better to drive safely than to risk getting caught and paying big fines. The new system is already working in many places and more cameras are coming soon.
