CHP - Modesto

🚨 84 in a 65. Never licensed. Vehicle impounded.🚨

CHP stopped this driver for speeding at 84 MPH in a 65 MPH zone, and the driver has never had a driver license. The vehicle was subsequently impounded.

🏁 Safety Reminder: Speeding and unlicensed driving put everyone at risk. Slow down, drive responsibly, and make sure you’re legally licensed before getting behind the wheel.

Does your Waze app look extra colorful on SR-99 today? 🚔

That’s because CHP officers are out conducting speed enforcement throughout the SR-99 corridor. If Waze is warning you about us, consider it a reminder to slow down.

Speeding increases crash risk and reduces reaction time. Slow down, stay alert, and help keep our roadways safe.

Recently, one of our CHP Commercial Officers conducted a traffic stop on a tractor-trailer combination vehicle for numerous California Vehicle Code violations. During the stop, it was discovered the driver was operating the commercial vehicle without a valid driver license. Due to the violations and unsafe operation, the vehicle was impounded.

Commercial vehicles play a critical role on our roadways, but safety and compliance are not optional.

Proper licensing, equipment maintenance, and following traffic laws help keep everyone safe.🚛

This morning, CHP conducted a speed enforcement stop on SR-132 after a driver was observed traveling well above the posted speed limit during the morning commute.

SR-132 continues to see heavy commuter traffic every day, and excessive speed leaves very little room for reaction time when traffic suddenly slows or stops. A few minutes saved is never worth risking a crash, injury, or worse.

Leave early, stay alert, keep a safe following distance, and remember, the speed limit is there for everyone’s safety.

Drive safe, Stanislaus County. 🚓

89 MPH on a rural county road. That’s a quick way to turn a peaceful drive into a major crash scene. 😕

Earlier today, CHP Officer Hsu, conducted a traffic stop on Santa Fe Avenue in the Denair area, after this driver was observed at 89 MPH in a 55 MPH zone.

Country roads may look open, but they come with hidden driveways, farm equipment, cross traffic, and very little room for error.

Slow down, stay alert, and remember: arriving a few minutes later beats not arriving at all.
