State police swarm Va. interstates for enforcement
Virginia State Police stopped thousands of speeders and reckless drivers during a two-day enforcement effort on Interstates 81 and 95.

The weekend initiative dubbed "Operation Air, Land and Speed" netted 3,536 speeders, 717 reckless drivers and 20 drunken drivers. More than 300 safety belt violations were also recorded.

In all, the operation rung up slightly more than 7,000 summonses and arrests.

The weekend enforcement effort was the 13th conducted on the two interstates since "Operation Air, Land and Speed" launched in 2006.
