Guys,
This could be an internet scare with nothing behind it, but it was, apparently, discussed on a NJ state radio station. I put it out there in hopes that it is informative and helpful - Porsche should use this in marketing the Turbo - "in NJ, you can't get there fast so you might as well get there 'quick'."



"Here's the latest NJ State Police Initiative (RadioStation 101.5 confirmed this info). Starting July 28, New Jersey will launch a 30-dayspeeding ticket frenzy.

The state estimates that 9 million dollars will begenerated in speeding tickets. One million dollars will go to pay statetroopers over-time.

There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all timespatrolling the 9 main intersections and highways as follows:
I-295 North and South,
I-95 Jersey Turnpike North and South,
I-80 East and West,
I-287 North and South,
I-78 East and West,
I-195 East and West,
I-280 East and West,
Route 130 - North and South,
Garden State Parkway - North and South

5 MPH above the limit can justify a ticket and everystate trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10to 20 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoriacruisers and are bringing in all of their part-timers on full time. If youwork in NJ, NY, DE or CT, you will probably be on one of these highways. So,please be on guard and drive safely!

Starting August 15, the price of a violation to show yourdriver's license, registration or insurance card at the time you arestopped, increased from $44.00 to $173.00. (Keep these documents in your car).And the fine for not
having all three documents is $519.00!

The fine for hand-held cell phone use while driving willbe going up to $180.00

Please forward this to people in NJ or any one using theNJ Highways, and

let them know of this latest Police Initiative."

Well, there it is. I hope that they are wrong, but the revenue generation portion sounds about right...in my town, if you are sitting at a traffic light too long you will get a $45 parking ticket.

Be careful out there!

 

just another form of TAX.
