GSP riders take special note. The de facto speed cutoff on the Parkway has been 80mph. If the warning below is true be careful about going over 70mph. JP

Subject: NJ speeding tickets Be aware

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 w rite 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. It's up to
you how fast you are going when they clock you.
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 go
ing up to $180.00.

Democrat Corzine for you. Electing him sure seems like a good move, huh. That type of "fund-raising" should be illegal!

I just got that same email and I was glad to find out it is false. Here is a link to the Snopes report on it.

That one came around last year for a bit. It's certainly believable but I understand it's a fake.

Let's all remember this is the Governor that wanted to reduce the speed limit from 65 to 55 to save fuel. A couple months later his SUV crashes doing over 90. A hippocrate and he's taxing people out of this state so he can pay off debt.

He also said the public should be able to vote on any new debt to "take control of the states credit card" and I just heard they were trying to pass a billion dollar + loan without any public input.

I could go on, but that topic is just too depressing
