When the Florida Highway Patrol went looking for traffic violations by commercial vehicle drivers last week, the truckers were ready.
"In fact, in the attempt to cite CMV (commercial vehicle) violations," said Lt. Mike Burroughs, FHP Troop B public information officer, "we were citing motorists who were beginning to drive fast around the slower moving CMV's."
The FHP was out in force on state roadways Thursday and Friday for the second phase of its "Operation Safe Ride" - intending to identify and cite violations by commercial vehicles - but he said the patrol found the drivers on their best behavior.
