Operation Air, Land and Speed Shows Record Number of Violators | Leesburg Reckless Driving Attorney

Virginia State Police reported that their most recent Operation Air, Land and Speed campaign produced the third highest number of violations since the program began in 2006.

Last weekend’s blitz yielded 8,289 arrests and summonses, all along I-95 and I-81. 3,313 speeding tickets, 628 reckless driving citations, 12 DUIs, 15 drug/felony arrests, and 248 seat belt violations were issued over the two-day period.

“Unfortunately, there are still too many motorists who choose to speed, drive carelessly or drive impaired—all factors that cause crashes,” said Colonel W. Steven Flaherty, Virginia State Police Superintendent.

The comprehensive enforcement project utilized troopers, supervisors, motorcycle units, motor carrier teams and aviation units. Funds generated from summonses issued by state police during this campaign went towards paying court fees and the state’s Literary Fund.
