The California Highway Patrol (CHP) said on May 8 that it has rolled out its newest weapon to crack down on what the department calls “video-game-style” driving by deploying specially marked patrol vehicles on busy highways.

“We’re deploying 100 of these vehicles statewide to confront a growing threat—aggressive drivers who speed excessively, tailgate, split lanes, and endanger lives,” CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee said Thursday in a social media video.
