Default ATL: Speeding Tickets in August

My dad forwarded this on to me:

Dateline: AJC 07/19/2010
Starting Aug 1, Georgia will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers' overtime. The rest to help with dwindling budgets. There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 7 main intersections and highways. They are the following:
I-20 east and west
I-75 north and south
I-85 north and south
I-675 north and south
GA-985 north and south
GA-316 east and west
GA-400 north and south
5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police cruisers and are bringing in all of their part timers on full time. If you work in the Atlanta area, you will probably take one of these highways. It's up to you how fast you are going when they clock you.
WSB and WXIA & CBS confirmed all of this. So be safe and don't forget speeding tickets are on you.
Look for city and county governments to adopt similar polices in the near future.


I suggest driving with your brights on at night in hopes that you can blind your opponents so that they can't see the cops and get pulled over instead of you.

Glad to hear that is a false rumor - initiating robbery like that is outrageous.

well all I got to say is that I drove through Atlanta and all the way up I75 from Florida to Tennessee for Zcon and back and actually did not see any state trooper in Ga and really no real traps or heavy enforcement in any of the three states
