Hill Country TX -Sportbike riders targeted
Be careful when riding on SR 337 between Vanderpool and Leakey ,TX.
A riding bud was in the Leakey pokey for 26 hours, snagged last Sunday by a gray, unmarked DPS car, working with the Bandera county Sheriff dept. & DPS B&W Interceptors. He was on an R-6.
He was caught NOT for speeding, but for passing on double yellow...7 times! Sheriff deputies blocked road, waiting for him at bottom of the mountain, with guns drawn!! They claim he was running. Cuffed him, and put him up for the night. The Justice of the Peace was female, and was cerebrating Mothers Day, so he was there until Monday afternoon. Has to go back to court for Reckless driving charge in June.
DPS claims too many incidents / complaints, so a task force is out & about in that area. Trooper told my friend they are planning much more traffic-enforcement activity over the summer.
Watch yerself out there
