Starting today, there are two more reasons to obey the speed limit. Montgomery County police have deployed two new "slick top" cruisers as of this morning, July 27, 2023. Both new Dodge Charger models are designed with stealthy features to avoid premature detection by leadfoot or texting drivers. They each have lights inside the top of the windshield and rear window, rather than on the roof. The "ghost graphics" model has nearly-invisible MCPD markings on its exterior, which are very subtle in the daytime, but are highly-reflective at night.
MCPD says both cruisers are being deployed for Vision Zero traffic enforcement. Officers driving them will be on the lookout for drivers who are speeding, texting while driving, not wearing seatbelts, driving impaired or driving aggressively. Both will be driven by Central Traffic Unit officers, who will be in full uniform.
I hope they target the sportbikes on 270. Some of these guys travel at over 100 mph on a regular basis. I'm guessing the police can't catch them.
ReplyDeleteThey can't catch us, so keep hoping
DeleteHope you don't hit a patch of grass during you're escape 😉
DeleteWith open exhausts no less. Some nights it sounds like Daytona Motor Speedway out there. Come on, MCPD......
ReplyDeletePretty sure 270 is primarily the responsibility of State Police.
DeleteWatch out for speeders on 355 in Rockville. At night they are drag racing!!
