Hernando Car Accident Attorney Report :: Florida Highway Patrol cites more than 1,000 red light violations
This week, the Florida Highway Patrol announced the results of the law enforcement initiative that focused on driver who run red lights. FHP participated in the National Stop On Red Week, and troopers issued 1,190 red light citations along with other citations for poor driving behavior--such as speeding and failure to wear a safety belt.
Last year, red light running in Florida led to 76 fatalities and 7,100 car accidents where property or people were injured. According to the FHP, the leading excuse offered by drivers for running a red light is “being in a hurry."
