- I don't mind task forces like this, but what I hate is having a man standing in a combat stance at the side of the parkway pointing a gun at me with two hands. Granted, it was a radar gun, but it's a disturbing distraction to have a gun pointed at you, forcing you to concentrate on it to determine that it's a radar gun and not a weapon.

- I think it was great, I use the Parkway everyday and I looked for the MAT Team. Everytime I drove the Parkway that day they had someone pulled over. One of my concerns is our publicly owned vehicles (school buses) I had three school buses pass me at about 65 mph+ on the Parkway at Empire, and the third bus passed the frist two. I am happy I don't children on the School bus.

- This task force would have been far more effective if they had extended it through the weekend. Most of the bad accidents usually occur when insurgent tourists invade Bend roads. I use the Parkway daily for my weekly commute and most drivers cruise between 55-65. But when the weekend rolls around, the average speed usually jumps to 75++.
