Aggressive driving plagues Florida's Treasure Coast, with 15 mph to 25 mph over posted speed limits becoming endemic. SUVs and pickups speed recklessly, leading to a surge in fatal collisions.

The upward trend in highway fatalities, reported by the Pew Research Center, demands urgent action beyond current enforcement efforts. Officers protest their efforts, but strict enforcement faces political resistance fearing a 'speed trap' reputation.
