Beware Speeders!!

[TJH64]

Starting today, Pennsylvania 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-279 north and south
I-376 east and west
I-76 east and west
I-80 east and west
I-79 north and south
I-70 east and west
PA-60
PA-66
US-22

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 Dodge Charger police cruisers and are bringing in all of their part-timers on full time. If you work in western PA, you probably take one of these highways.

KDKA and WDVE have confirmed this information.

On top of the speeding fine, failure to show your drivers license, registration or insurance will be a $173.00 fine, and the fine for not have all 3 documents is $519.00!!

I just had this come across my desk and figured I would post for all.

I'm sure we would all rather put this money into our cars, than to pass it on to the state for a speeding ticket.

Just tell the cop you are in a hurry to go play King Edward's slot machines and he should let you go.

I sent this to a buddy of mine who is a state trooper and asked him if it was real and this is what he said:

“yeah, and if you forward this email to 50 people in 8 seconds, you’ll get a $100 gift certificate for Applebee’s, too. d1ckhead”

yeah, but the crown vic is like 21 in the 1/4

my buddy said he was talking to that trooper that drives the Magnum. he actually said it's hard to get used to compared to the crown vics. apparently he got on it too hard out of a corner one day and almost backed it into a guardrail.

[2001GTTT]
