The Wyoming Highway Patrol (WHP) recently ticketed a truck driver for exceeding the speed limit by more than 20 m.p.h.
In a March 26 social media post, the WHP detailed a traffic stop that occurred near Evanston, Wyoming.
From WHP:
“A Trooper on patrol east of Evanston on I-80 pulled over a Commercial Motor Vehicle for driving 99 MPH in a 75 MPH zone.
The area where the traffic stop occurred is known to many as “The Sisters” and is notorious for slick conditions during winter weather. The driver received a $475 citation.
WHP would like to remind drivers of all vehicles to obey the speed limit and never drive faster than conditions allow.“
Earlier this month, a truck driver in a bobtail Peterbilt was caught doing 101 m.p.h. by the Nebraska State Patrol.
Will a Peterbuilt actually do 101mph? Yep ….. Trp Gibbins (#NSP130) found one that will today. Seriously folks ….. #SlowDown!!! Speed is a contributing factor in many crashes as well as the severity of these same crashes. #BeSafe, #SlowDown, and #BuckleUp!!! pic.twitter.com/KabWR3zJkt
