great, now they can write more speeding tickets to make up for all of the lost money in the lawsuit.

This guy did the right thing and will PROFIT from it! Thats for sure... Its about time the state gets put in there place.

nice. but at the same time if this does go through, you can kiss the 9 you're fine 10 you're mine rule out the window. I wouldn't be surprised if they start pulling people over for 3mph over

they normally stop you for 15+ i have noticed.. never had an issue with FHP as many times as they have pulled me over for my windshield. very professional and respectful every time

I was pulled over yesterday for going too fast past an "Emergency vehicle." Basically, there were two police cars who had pulled over a truck on US1 in Hobe Sound. I was going the speed limit as I passed them.

The next thing I knew, a police car pulled me over. Apparently, you have to either move over a lane or slow down by 20 MPH when passing. I had no idea this law even existed. Luckily, because there were no tickets on my record for the past ten years, all I got was a warning. The officer also gave me a little pamphlet explaining the "Emergency Vehicle" law. The fact that they have a pamphlet on this says it all. No one must know it exists.

its been in effect for a while. Also called the Move-Over Law. It's usually on those signs above the highway

From the article: "Campbell says FHP had no right to ticket him or anyone under the current law and he adds the agency is not being honest when it says it doesn't write tickets to increase revenue or punish people, but rather to get the motorist to slow down on the highway. If that were true, Campbell says the FHP should be delighted with him, because drivers did slow down before troopers could give them a ticket."


+1000000000000000 They love sitting on 75 and the Turnpike! Interesting to see how this plays out.

I wonder how did the FHP notice that he was blinking his high beams?

[STASH]

Sounds like another way to harass tax payers.
