SUMNER COUNTY —Law enforcement across Kansas continue to see  drivers traveling well above the posted speed limit, despite a statewide campaign to crack down on excessive speeding.

On Friday, KHP Lt. Hammond stopped a couple of motorists for driving over 100mph on the Kansas Turnpike within a couple hours, according to a social media report.
