Bakersfield,CAL,USA -The Bakersfield, by STEVEN MAYER -Oct 17 2009: -- One moment she was talking about the joys and challenges of being a professional cop, the next she was cranking a hard U-turn across the dirt median of Highway 58, hitting the gas on her souped-up Crown Vic and accelerating quickly to 110 mph... She may be only 5 feet 3 inches tall. And she writes more tickets than any other CHPer in town... California Highway Patrol Officer, Carrie Creel, specializes in enforcing speed limits for commercial vehicles -- and she's very good at her job, say her superiors in the CHP's Bakersfield office, including ranking officer Capt. Brian Smith...

She also uses the radar gun mounted on the left side of the dash to "lock in" their exact speed, which is displayed on the readout in front of her)
CHP officers in Bakersfield typically write between 900 and 1,100 speeding tickets a year, said CHP Sgt. Larry McGuire. In 2008, Creel handed out 2,369 citations for excessive speed, mostly to truck drivers barreling down Highway 58 with 70,000 pounds of cargo on their tail.
