Several dozen black Chevy Tahoes will be dispatched over the next month by Arkansas State Police to apprehend both aggressive and districted drivers. So far this year, data show that troopers have stopped more than 2300 drivers traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour, what they describe as a new and alarming trend. Troopers in Tahoes will also be monitoring for distracted drivers, as well as ticketing those crusing in left-hand passing lanes, prohibited under a new state law.
