Speeding drivers across California are in the crosshairs as authorities roll out a statewide enforcement blitz — backed by sobering crash data. The California Highway Patrol began a 24-hour “Maximum Enforcement Period” at 6 a.m. Tuesday, targeting motorists who push past the speed limit, according to ABC7. The crackdown comes after CHP officers issues more than 491,000 speeding tickets last year, while preliminary figures show speeding played a role in more than 110,000 crashes — leaving over 400 people dead and roughly 68,000 injured.
