Slow Down’ speed to encourage driving safety through speed awareness

A campaign called ‘Operation Southern Slow Down’ aimed at helping save lives and prevent reckless driving and speeding in Florida and four other southeastern states, kicked off today. The past few years have seen an increase in risk-taking and careless driving. No matter how safe of a driver you think you may be, speeding is dangerous.

The campaign, is a joint effort by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle Department, FDOT, and the southeastern states of Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee. State and local law enforcement agencies in all five states will be conducting a week-long speed enforcement awareness campaign from July 17, 2023, through July 22, 2023. Operation Southern Slow Down aims to deter speeding, prevent aggressive driving, and save lives.

Speeding fatalities have continued to increase over the past few years, rising a dramatic 17% from 2019 to 2020 and another estimated 5% from 2020 to 2021. Even advancements in vehicle safety and passenger protection cannot keep people safe from the dangers of speeding.
