speeding

An Erath, Louisiana mother made it around the world in a matter of days after sharing an experience with a recklessly speeding vehicle.

The higher fines will go to increase police officer compensation and bolster the police budget.

Authorities aren't waiting on cameras to double speeding fines across the Basin Bridge on I-10. The new fines are in effect now.

Technology now mandatory in Europe would limit a vehicle's ability to exceed the posted speed, no matter how fast the driver wants it to go.

Fines for speeding on that stretch of Interstate 10 in Louisiana could be five times greater than they are now.

We know you don't speed in school zones. But for all those other idiot drivers here's the monetary cost if you do.

So now we are passing laws to protect those who choose to break the law we already passed. Makes perfect sense to me and a lot of dollars for Louisiana attorneys.

It's probably not a surprise that Louisiana is one of the worst states for speed traps in the nation, but can you guess where Lake Charles ranks?

This is Southwest Louisiana. Everything is different here. Here are five things I wish someone would've told me before I moved to Lake Charles.

The Lake Charles Police Department has been checking for speeders on Lakeshore Drive just south of Interstate 10.

It was 2 o’clock in the morning when a car went speeding past a Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s deputy on Interstate 10 about two miles west of Sulphur.  At first, maybe it looked like a typical late night speeder, but according to the CPSO, nothing about this traffic violation was normal.
