According to an Instagram post by the UHP, over 84,000 vehicles have been stopped for speeding this year. 3,500 of which were traveling over 100 mph.
The social media post is part of an overall campaign by the UHP to reduce fatalities during the '100 Deadliest Days', a time between Memorial Day and Labor Day where the number of fatal car accidents nearly double on Utah's roads compared to the rest of the year.
