Who needs to get to work in record time? I'm talking 107-mph speed. I saw it posted on Twitter this morning, that Washington State Patrol conducted an emphasis patrol on what's known as the "Hanford 500." Complaints received were regarding commuters speeding on State Route 240 in Richland.
After the two-hour emphasis patrol this morning, the results are:
- 21 speeding citations
- 5 aggressive vehicles cited
- 1 no drivers license
- 3 commercial inspections, 1 driver placed out of service
