States launch "Operation Southern Slow Down" to combat speeding, aiming to reduce fatal crashes.

Multiple states have launched "Operation Southern Slow Down," a week-long campaign to reduce speeding and improve road safety. Law enforcement will increase speed enforcement efforts, targeting reckless drivers who pose a risk to others. The campaign aims to educate drivers about the dangers of speeding, which contributes to 15% of all fatal crashes. In addition to heightened enforcement, new laws in some states impose stricter penalties for excessive speeding.
