Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Speeding ticket frenzies... Just what we need...

[Charles Perry (charles]

That particular item, about the 30 day surge, may be false, but there's
no question that patrols have been greatly stepped up in every area I
travel to.

As more cities and counties start to feel the tightening of budgets, you
can bet that they will turn to the boys in blue to start adding revenue.

That's the only thing I liked about $4/gallon gas - our state police
were whining that they couldn't afford gas to maintain their patrols.

I was thinking the same thing. SNOPES is an urban legends site. If you
read the website you see the same fake warning has been around for
years. that's the  point of the site, it is all BS!

(If you want REAL speed cameras then come on over here! Average speed
cameras over 6 miles, digital speed cameras, regular speed cameras,
cameras that ticket you for improper parking, conjestion cameras and now
they have just announced lowering the speed limit on normal roads to 50
mph from 60 mph)
 
You don't know how lucky you have it in the USA....if you think it can't
get any worse then have a quick holiday in the UK and you will find out
it  can!
 
 

Unless I  completely misunderstand, isn't the point of the linked Snopes
article that  the story about stepped up enforcement in NJ (as well as
other jurisdictions  where similar stories have popped up) is bogus?





In any  event, I will be driving my minivan (alas) from Philadelphia to
Nawlins (and  back) the second week of May, intending to stay on major
highways (e.g., 81)  except for a couple of short detours for
interesting food.  I'll try to  be vigilent, will have my V1, and won't
go over 90, but does anyone know of  any jurisdictions, other than VA
and DC, where radar detectors are illegal?  





Also, can anyone direct me to any  useful sites that facilitate
identification of worthwhile eateries along a  route?  Most sites, like
Zagat, require a search by location, and I am  currently using Roadfood,
but thought there might be other  sources?





Thanks,

Larry
