The patrol has announced it will start a statewide traffic enforcement operation focused on speeding and aggressive drivers.

“The purpose of this traffic enforcement initiative is to reduce traffic- related deaths and injuries in Florida,” said Col. John Czernis, director of the Florida Highway Patrol. The blitz has been dubbed Operation Safe Ride. “The Florida Highway Patrol will continue a zero tolerance police toward hazardous moving violations, such as speeding and aggressive driving.”

The patrol announced it will use all available personnel for the operation, which will target violators by use of RADAR, LASER, motorcycles and marked and unmarked patrol cars. Troopers piloting FHP aircraft also will be used to target violators.

Enforcement will be focused on every Interstate, including I-75, Florida’s turnpike and other major state roads.
