- CHP stopped a convoy of supercars for speeding early in Monterey Car Week.
- Similar police crackdowns occur annually, with nine cars pulled over last year.
- Officers urge all drivers to slow down and keep Monterey roads safe.
Monterey Car Week hasn’t even shifted into full gear yet, but police in the area aren’t waiting. They’re already trying to make a big and bold statement; slow down or get stopped altogether. And they did it by pulling over five supercars at a time in Monterey.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f”);
}
});

The scene isn’t totally unfamiliar to the area. Each year, Monterey Car Week brings together the biggest names in the automotive industry. Along with them, you’ll find millions of the world’s biggest and wealthiest car fans. A year ago, nine ended up pulled over on the side of the road together after CHP decided they needed a ticket or two.
Traffic Stops in the Spotlight
“Car Week is here, Drive Safe, Monterey County,” said CHP Monterey in a post on Tuesday. Along with the title came a photo of the quintet of cars stopped to interact with law enforcement. Among them, we can see a Mercedes-Benz SLS coupe, a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, a Lamborghini Diablo, a Porsche 911 (slantnose it seems), and a Lamborghini Aventador.
In case they didn’t turn heads enough all by themselves, CHP says that it’s on high alert for “reckless and unsafe driving.” These five drivers were allegedly speeding, though we suspect their legal counsel would debate that claim. The department had some council of its own for followers on social media.

Keeping the Roads in Check
The post continued with a broader warning: “Whether you’re a tourist enjoying the sights or a local navigating busier roads, remember: reckless driving and speeding put everyone at risk. Slow down, drive respectfully, and keep Monterey County’s roads safe for all,” it said. No doubt, CHP is going to have a lot to keep tabs on.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751”);
}
});
Monterey Car Week actually spans beyond seven days, and events happen all over and even outside of the county. We expect some huge debuts from brands like Rivian, Eccentrica, Lucid, Kimera, and more. As the news comes out, we’ll be here to bring you the latest.
