Iowa State Patrol: Increased Speeding Is A Huge Concern

May 24, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Undated)– Here’s a reminder to watch your speed while your traveling. Iowa State Patrol Sergeant Alex Dinkla says they’re continuing to see people of all ages driving at dangerous speeds — some in excess of 100 miles-per-hour…

“150, 140, 164. Those are some of the top speeds so far in 2024.”

Dinkla says the excuses cover the gamut…

“A lot of the excuses that we see people giving us is, I didn’t realize I was going that fast. I was just trying to get to school. I was late for an appointment.”

Dinkla says the problem seems to have gotten worse since covid and that people of all ages seem to be involved.
