I still think the fix between the CHP and the union truck drivers went into effect the Day Davis was sworn in.
Since then, I can't remember see a CHP Trooper pulling over a speeding trucker, regardless of how fast that trucker is going.
A few drives on N. Kali expressways this past weekend confirmed that reality again. Twice, we are driving along at 65 with trucks pulling ahead of us (truck speed limit is 55 mph, where a CHP pulls out and speeds past the speeding truckers who don't even slow down when they saw the Chippies coming up behind them.
The Chippies went past the speeding trucks to pull over drivers in passenger cars doing a little faster than the speeding truckers.
It would be really interesting to see if there has been an increase of fatalities due to speeding trucks since Davis became governor. There was some data in the first 1.5 years of his dufusship, and since then nothing.
Have you seen the latest publicity stunt? I wondered why they would run it in the SacBEE with photo but this is why. The CHP just got 5 new Camaros with low-profile lights for -- pulling over truckers! These babies are capable of 160 mph!
