I’m betting the majority of drivers who drive faster than 70, 75 miles an hour on Interstate 35 are from out of town. For some unknown reason that has to be completely unfathomable to those of us who have chosen to make Kyle our home, I’m guessing there’s a small faction of drivers who desire to get through our fair city as quickly as possible. Oh, how I’m looking forward to hearing how many of these misguided miscreants get nabbed for speeding Monday by the Kyle Police Department.
You see, thanks to a grant from the Texas Department of Public Safety, our local gendarmes are going to beef up their presence along the interstate, as well as the highway’s access roads, this coming Monday expressly to nab those folks attempting to break the San Antonio-Austin land speed record. The action, according to a news release emanating from the City today, is to attempt to reduce the number of accidents on the highway.
"We are giving everyone a heads up because we want you to slow down," the news release slyly claimed a Kyle Police Lt. Andre Marmolejo actually said. I wonder about the authenticity of the statement only because obviously he can’t give "everyone a heads up" because, like I said earlier, I fully expect those caught in the speeder’s web will be from out of town.
And if they’re not from out of town, they deserve every punishment the law allows because Lt. Marmolejo did give you "a heads up" and I did what I could to pass it along.
You can’t say we didn’t warn you.
