MORONGO BASIN CHP SAYS, “SLOW DOWN!”

Last week, we reported that citations from the California Highway Patrol are up 87 percent statewide for motorists who are caught speeding at 100 miles per hour or faster. Ernest Figueroa says motorists are also speeding in our Morongo Basin…

With the state’s stay-at-home order, traffic on the Highway 62 and 247 has been considerably lighter. That’s good news for those who are still working, but Morongo Basin CHP officers have been handing out speeding tickets left and right to motorists for speeds around 100 miles per hour. In the last week, eight motorists have been ticketed for driving speeds ranging from 86 to 103 miles per hour on Highway 62 and Old Woman Springs Road. In California, the base fine is $490 for exceeding the speed limit by more than 26 miles per hour. The CHP reminds drivers that fewer vehicles on the road is not a license to speed.
