Kansas to Toughen Speeding Law Says DOT Chief
Kansas DOT secretary John Kemp urged lawmakers to remove the speeding exemption. The Kansas City to Emporia corridor saw over 180 speeders ticketed last weekend as state officials push for stricter enforcement and a license suspension threshold. He noted current rules treat 55 to 65 mph citations differently from over 65 mph offenses. If someone racks up three over 65 violations in a year, their license could be suspended.
