FHP Paul Rich is highlighted as he catches speeders with his service duty Marauder. I have this segment on my Dish PVR.This spot is less then a 60 seconds but you see the car in action and a great interior veiw. Here is the storyline from the show below.
============================== ================
The deadliest stretch of I-95 on our survey is in Palm Beach County. From Boca Raton up to Jupiter, speed killed 48 people, putting this Interstate on our list of dangerous roads.
Trooper Paul Rich: “When planes take off, they take off at about 150 mph. These people are running at 120, 130 miles an hour out here. They're about ready to take off”
Riding with Florida highway patrol trooper Paul Rich, we witnessed some typical I-95 speeds. The speed limit there ranges from 55 to 65. One driver is stopped for driving 86 miles an hour, as is a second driver. Another driver is caught on a radar gun at 96 miles an hour. That doesn't stop him from trying to talk his way out of the ticket.
But Interstates aren't the only roadways with speeding problems. We also looked at roads with posted limits of 45 miles an hour or less. Drivers may not go as fast on these streets as they do on Interstates, but the effects are still deadly.
