Vermilion Parish announces more severe penalties for speeding 25 mph over limit

ABBEVILLE, La. (KLFY) — Some drivers who exceed posted speed limits in Vermilion Parish will now face more than just a ticket, authorities said.

Vermilion Parish Sheriff Eddie Langlinais has announced that drivers in the parish who exceed the posted speed limit by more than 25 mph will immediately surrender their driver’s license, and those who speed by more that 35 mph will also be arrested. Offenders will also be subject to a mandatory court appearance.

“These violations will no longer be resolved through citation and fine alone,” he said.

Langlinais said the measures are being taken “in the interest of public safety, particularly in response to the increased risks caused by excessive speed on parish roadways.”

“Our priority is the safety of Vermilion Parish residents and visitors,” he said. “Excessive speeding
puts lives at risk unnecessarily. These enforcement measures are meant to send a clear
message: reckless driving will not be tolerated.”

Langlinais said the new measures are supported by the judges of the 15th Judicial District Court.

Questions regarding these enforcement measures may be directed to the Vermilion Parish
Sheriff’s Office Enforcement Division at (337) 898-4400.
