The Associated Press is reporting the New York State Police are targeting speeding motorists with a stepped-up enforcement effort. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the crack down, Wed., Aug. 5. The effort will continue through next Tuesday. Speeding was a contributing factor in crashes that killed more than 350 people in 2013. Another 19,000 people were injured in speed-related crashes that year. During the period of stepped-up enforcement, troopers in marked and unmarked cars will also target drunken driving, seatbelt violations and distracted driving. A similar effort last year resulted in 22,000 traffic tickets being issued, with just under half of them for speeding violations.
