Tennessee Highway Patrol Cracking Down on Dangerous Driving

The Tennessee Highway Patrol began a summer crackdown on drivers who speed, drive while impaired or do not use safety belts.

The initiative the state kicked off on June 26 is called “100 Days of Summer HEAT (Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic).”

Nearly 500 overtime hours will be used over the next three months for the program.

Col. Mike Walker of the THP said speed, impaired driving and unrestrained motorists are the top three causes of fatal crashes.
