Starting today, New Jersey will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy.
The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding
tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers' overtime. There will
be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main
intersections and highways. They are the following:

I-295 north and south
1-95 (Jersey Turnpike) north and south
1-80 east and west
I-287 north and south
I-78 east and west
1-195 east and west
1-280 east and west
Rt. 130 north and south
Garden State Parkway north and south

5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is
supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes.
They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and are
bringing in all of their part timers on full time. If you work in NJ,
NY, DE or CT you will probably take one of these highways.

101.5 FM confirmed all of this. So be safe and don't forget speeding
tickets are on you.

Driving Ticket fine increase in NJ:
Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of NJ
Law39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or
insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to
$173.00. Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in
them. If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet
with your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just
spent $173. And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!

Forward to people in NJ, and let them know of this change. And be
careful, the fine for hand held cell phone use while driving will be going up to $180.00.

 

..great.

 

I dig the Cell Phone Fine
Everything else

 

I'm not so sure it's true. I remember this circulating in email a while back and people responding that it is just another email hoax. Although I couldn't tell you for sure, snopes.com states it's false.

No speed no problem. No cell phone no problem. I am sure speeding is being control because there is a speeding problem. In Alberta we are waiting for No Cell Phone In The Car Legislation "while driving". You would be suprised how many red lights I write because someone has went through the red light why on the cell phone. The whole idea behind driving is to pay attention to avoid costly collisions.

And yes in certain areas I do let the mustang rip!

 

Sure enough, Got pulled over leaving the boardwalk at Sea Side. And I wasn't do'n nothing man!

 

That one circulated here earlier this month, with the local roads changed to meet the locale. With the $'s mentioned on ours, they would have had to write 450,000 tickets in one month.

 

well if its true or not, what about the Atlantic City Expressway????? My dad says he goes like 80 to 85 on it all the time. Guess I better worn him.
