Thankfully, going 75 or 80 on the NJ Turnpike doesn't seem to generate tickets.

I've got one better:

A. Here's the former mayor of nearby town.
B. And when the speed trap in town was shut down, they unlawfully did traffic enforcement on the Interstate.

who is Grateful Express on AM2?
They have not rplied to request for info, and are doing well coming from behind at CDG :)

Probably a warrant or something on the RO when they :rolleyes:'ed the tag.

Or he was wearing Zebra pants (I call them my cock fighting pants).

Apparently in NY it's encouraged to drive erratically / speed up when in the vicinity of an emergency vehicle. I can't find the rule anywhere on the books, but since everyone does it, it must be correct. :rolleyes:

How would one discern that change?

touché.

My mistake, I wasn't clear. 3 different cops in Dodge Chargers had pulled over 3 different people at different spots on the 287/Route 9 highways.

:eek::mad: Hearing about that stuff gets me mad. When I used to read Car & Driver you'd hear about that stuff every once in a while.

...and just where would that request for info have been directed?

Ahhh. "Target Enforcement Zone" or some such nonsense.

Oh, and it's "Click it or ticket" week, so be prepared for checkpoints this weekend.

My favorite was in SC when they'd run Z3 BMW's (they got for free from the plant in Spartanburg) as "rabbits" down I95. You'd follow thinking if anyone was going to get pulled over, it would be the lead car. They'd get a nice parade of cars behind them and everyone would get pulled over.

I think they eventually ruled it was entrapment. But the practice went on for at least a few years.

Amen. Like when I'm booking it to PHL. Not that that ever happens.

Speaking of booking it, I still can't decide whether to drive or train/subway/bus to LGA for my 5:45 am flight tomorrow. If I weren't on duty till 10:30 PM tonight I would have seriously considered going up this evening and spending the night in a hotel. Either way, there's going to be minimal sleep. :rolleyes:

Drive. There will be no traffic.

There might be a few unsavory characters using mass transit at that hour of the night.

Drive. It will take FAR less time.

RE: Speeding, I recall a while back that some jurisdiction (I think in CT) had cars with radar on the side of the road with their hoods up and dry ice set up underneath to generate steam and make it look like the car was stuck. They would then radio another car with the speed info. :td:

Yes, and while I haven't seen that many at once since, there has been a fairly regular Charger presence since. :rolleyes:

I always buckle up, but :rolleyes: at checkpoints.

In my area of Maryland, there would be a broken down car on the side of the road for days; it would later be replaced by a cruiser of the same color. The Maryland State Police also could park in the median parallel to the road surface during certain seasons and be essentially invisible. I think it's the only reason for the green body of the vehicle.

I was with my parents when we got pulled over there.
