Operation Southern Slow Down Returns Across Florida

If you're planning to rent an exotic or luxury vehicle in Florida this week, expect to see significantly more law enforcement on highways and major roadways.

Beginning July 13 through July 18, 2026, Florida law enforcement agencies are participating in Operation Southern Slow Down, a multi-state traffic safety campaign designed to reduce speeding-related crashes across Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The initiative combines increased traffic enforcement with public education to encourage safer driving habits.

Whether you're behind the wheel of a Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or Mercedes-Benz, driving responsibly allows you to enjoy every mile.
