warning in nj

the nj state troopers are on a tix barrage til the end of this month. my source tells me they are expected to write 3 summons per hour. they are also sending out extra man power when they can, and will be utilizing 30 new unmarked cars. watch out as they are lowering their threshold to just 6 mph over posted limit. sorry to sound the alarm this is a false rumour: http://www.snopes.com/politics/traffic/speeding.asp __________________

Hmmm..making they are trying to make up for the 11 corrupted officials that just got busted. Thanx for the heads up...time to get my DD inspected (3/07)

this is a false rumour: http://www.snopes.com/politics/traffic/speeding.asp

They're out in force (FHP, not NJHP) on South Florida roads. They're using laser, too, to add insult to injury.

In hindsight we'll look at this time as the golden years of driving sports cars. Unfortunately local and State governments have discovered that moving violations is just a delightful way to collect additional revenue. The poor residents of Va are the first to experience this firsthand with the draconian fines that have been imposed on State residents for moving violations. It's just a matter of time before there will be hidden cameras throughout the country that will detect moving violations, and you'll simply be mailed your $200 or $300 fine in the mail. I recently went to Washington DC and they had these dam cameras on virtually every street.

Oh it's coming. It's already happened in the UK - the country with the highest density of surveillance cameras in the world. On virtually every road now there are violation cameras. You honestly wouldn't believe how common they are. And it's all revenue for the authorities........

The Establishment vilifies speeders classing them on the same level as drunk drivers. Speeders are responsible for millions of accidents resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. This stat isn’t verifiable but neither are the stats used by the Establishment. We constantly hear reports that say “speed may have been involved” in the accident. What would the Establishment do if there were no speeders? How would they make up for the huge revenue shortfall? What would happen to all the business dependent on speeders? How would insurance companies survive unable to increase rate or deny coverage? The worst aspect about the “punish the speeder industry” is the discriminatory nature of the industry. The poor, the under class, the little guy and the unconnected can’t get tickets fixed like many of well connected can. The people that make up the Establishment don’t pay speeding tickets. Have you ever heard of someone in law enforcement getting a speeding ticket much less paying a speeding fine? It doesn’t happen. Many countries, England for one, has cameras around every corner but the next campaign in the war is going to be GPS and/or black box based. Funded by insurance companies and supported by the Establishment, it’s coming. Counter measure will be available but, again only the well to do will be able to afford it. The only way to stem the tide IMO would require a massive grass roots efforts but that’s unlike again IMO because it’s political incorrect to support speeders. I got myself all worked up so I’m going for a drive on my favorite section of twisty. Have a great day and drive safely.
