A Ticket In Every Stocking
Tell your Representative and Senator to vote NO on Speed Trap Bill SB 607. For a truly Merry Christmas.

The Legislature wants to give you a Christmas present: a ticket in every stocking.
Speed limits are purposely set below the safe speeds you drive every day. That makes you a “speeder” liable to get a ticket. To make it far easier to give you that ticket, the Legislature wants give municipal police RADAR guns via Speed Trap Bill SB 607.

SB 607 will lead to speed traps everywhere you drive, even though you drive a safe speed almost all the time.
This time of year people aren’t paying attention to the hijinks in Harrisburg. The Christmas season is when the Legislature likes to sneak in bills they have been lobbied to pass. Along with the RADAR profiteers, Harrisburg will profit handsomely from Speed Trap Bill SB 607 because tickets start North of $170. Add your insurance sur-charges to that and it means big money out of your pocket.
And , none of it is for safety.

Highway engineering is the source of true highway safety. Setting limits at the safest speeds, the 85th Percentile Speeds, will provide real safety. But that would make predatory speed enforcement unprofitable, so safety is not likely in our motoring future, if the Legislature has anything to do with it.
