Let's put the brakes on that.

To Pennsylvania Drivers:

What will the Legislature do this year to justify arming municipal police with RADAR guns, Speed Trap Bill SB 607? They are expert at cherry-picking statistics to say that there is a “speeding” crisis. There is no crisis, as you well know.

Speed limits are posted below the safest speeds that you drive every day in order to catch you “speeding” and give you a ticket. Safety has nothing to do with the predatory enforcement of unsafe speed limits. It’s all about the money. Your money.

The super majority of drivers want to get from point A to point B as safely and efficiently as possible. They do that by driving the 85th Percentile Speed, the safest speed. But, 90% of the limits in Pennsylvania are 8 to 16 MPH below the safest speeds. Like I said, to make it easy to write tickets. Tickets that cost North of $170.00. And the RADAR lobby says it’s not for the money. Yeah, right.

Drivers, rise up and demand that the Legislature abandon their enforcement-for-profit racket. We know it’s not about safety, but about raising tens of millions of dollars: we all have to drive, and they think we are four wheel ATMs for them to tap.

Isn't the extortionate gas tax enough money for them?
A reliable flood of money into Harrisburg is the goal of Speed Trap Bill SB 607. Let's put the brakes on that.
