She waived the case, which is now closed, and paid $50 as the first installment of a $240 fine for the traffic violation after receiving a verbal warning for racing.

    She was driving a van, not one of the of the mail trucks in the picture.

    In some areas, LLVs have been supplemented or replaced with vans and minivans, including the 2008-2010 purchase of Dodge Grand Caravan and Chevrolet Uplander minivans,[15]: 12  which tend to be more comfortable for postal workers, especially in extreme climates.

      It’s still pretty impressive that they could race in a minivan.

      Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. The article image was what I had pictured in my mind, and I’ve heard those called both trucks and vans interchangeably.
