Recently, RCPD Motor Units clocked a motorcyclist traveling at over 100 MPH on a Rancho Cordova street! Needless to say, the motorcyclist was issued a citation for excessive speed and will most likely face a large fine for the excessive speed limit. Additionally, penalties can include increases in insurance premiums and if a pattern of similar behavior is noted, driver's license restrictions may be imposed.
🌟
As a reminder, please slow down when traveling through our city! Whether you are on a motorcycle, truck, or passenger vehicle, excessive speeding creates an increased hazard to not only the driver and passengers of the offending vehicle, but also to the uninvolved members of the community. While traffic tickets may not be popular, RCPD is dedicated to strictly enforcing traffic laws in our city to ensure the safety of motorists and citizens in our city!
