Operation Slow Down Or Pay Up is still being conducted by the Texas Department of Transportation and the law's not playing around. They want everyone aware of the danger that speeding, even by just a little, brings.

Are you really in that big of a hurry?

Breaking the Speed Limit: Inside Texas' Fastest Speeding Tickets Ever Recorded.

It seems that some people are under the impression that, just because they SEE a police officer, they need to slam on the brakes. False.

This is catching on everywhere, and we'll be seeing more of it in 2019. Fake police officers like "Constable Scarecrow," that are cardboard cutouts made to look like real officers with radar guns.

In 2016, the number of tickets issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety for persons going at least 100 mph was up over 40%.  According to a report in the Houston Chronicle, nearly 10,000 such tickets were issued statewide.

When you barrel down the highway in excess of the speed limit, and you accomplish this monumental feat in "Smalltown USA", you could be in for a showdown at the OK Corral. I'm speaking from experience here, because the only moving violation I received, happened nearly 20 years ago, in a tiny hamlet called  Paradise Valley, Arizona.
