“We’ve only been up in the air for a few minutes here and we already found a vehicle traveling 20 miles an hour over the posted speed limit,” Trooper Anson Statema said as they spotted a car going 80 miles an hour. “We see a lot of… in the last two years, a lot of dangerous driving and drivers,” Statema said. “Really high rates of speed, aggressive driving. More frequent instances of people driving at speeds over 100 miles per hour.”
“It is a significant problem,” Adam Eucker with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office Felony Traffic Unit said. “We see the numbers continue to go up.” KIRO 7 spotted a cluster on Evergreen Way through Everett, along 99 and I-5 from downtown Seattle through North Seattle, and from Federal Way through Fife and Tacoma on I-5.
