Crackdown Warning Ignored By Weekend Fatalities In Iowa
State Safety Commissioner William Sueppel warned of a statewide summer crackdown on traffic violators with focus on speeders. Despite police enforcement and 1,000 tickets, Iowa recorded 14 highway deaths over the weekend. A Des Moines traffic court conference was called to set penalties, and Muscatine will raise minimum speeding fines to $10. Traffic safety depends on driver attitude as more people hit the roads.
