Cary Police Target Aggressive Drivers

Cary, N.C. — Note to motorists in a hurry: Cary police say they are going to crack down on aggressive drivers on Wednesday.

“Operation Patient Payoff” is targeting an area of N.C. Highway 55 just south of High House Road, where police said they’ve seen too many crashes and deaths.

Police will be looking for people driving too fast, following too closely and driving aggressively. Officers will be on motorcycles, in patrol cars and in unmarked cars from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and again from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The area was chosen because of its history. There have been three deadly accidents since last year on Highway 55 near Catlin Road in Cary. In June, the driver of an SUV was killed after the vehicle hydroplaned.

Last year, police conducted three campaigns that focused on a stretch of U.S. Highways 1 and 64 between Walnut Street and Cary Parkway. Officers cited more than 150 drivers.

D. - crossing guards have been supplied to you by the Town at that location. Are you blind or something?

Cary, the largest subdisvion with private security I have ever been in. I'm glad I was picked for re-education and got my paperwork approved and was allowed to move into Raleigh as an assimilated yankee

I'm with LYLE on the complete lack of everyday enforcement in the school zones! If you want to add some danger and excitement to your life, try crossing Kildaire Farm Road to get to Cary Elementary in the morning and afternoon.

"In June, the driver of an SUV was killed after the vehicle hydroplaned."

This is a result of driving too fast for conditions and outside of ones own capabilities. To blame it the road surface is not accepting responsibility. How many drivers negotiated this road under these conditions without killing themselves?
