Jackson County, CO – The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is using a recent traffic stop to remind Colorado drivers to slow down and follow the law.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies stopped a white Jeep on December 6 after radar showed it traveling 57 mph in a 40 mph zone. The same driver, who deputies say was already familiar to law enforcement, allegedly lacked a valid driver’s license.
Officials say the driver received two citations — one for speeding and another for operating a vehicle without a valid license. The department emphasized that while driving without a license is no longer an arrestable offense in Colorado, violators can still face citations and vehicle towing.
Repeated violations, authorities warn, can result in being classified as a Habitual Traffic Offender, which can eventually lead to arrest.
The sheriff’s post, shared Saturday in poetic form under the title “Slow Lesson Saturday,” ends with a safety reminder: “Slow it down, follow the rules, let us all arrive okay.”
Residents are reminded that driving without insurance remains a serious offense that will lead to arrest and impoundment.
