Traffic Safety Thursday: Drought Conditions, Compliance, and Mopeds

Our conversation for Traffic Safety Thursday was live in the studio with Lt. Warren Gosnell from Frederick County Sheriff's Office. It was not without it's glitches: the computer wouldn't play my intro music so Goz played HIS intro music from back in the day. But, as I listened to the recording, the mic didn't pick it up either. Regardless, it was as always, a great conversation full of solid information. Goz explained how compliance issues can spill over into other public safety issues. We talked about the wider consequences during this drought of tossing a lit cigarette from a moving vehicle or parking a running car on dry grass.  I asked about moped laws and regulations, which were much more complicated than I realized. The bonus was that he told a story about a (not so) high-speed chase with a moped that turned into an accident, then a foot chase, and ended with a DUI. To hear our previous conversations, click here.
