Speeders to pay extra for police fuel
Here is a good one for you. Holly Springs, Ga. will have a 12 dollar surcharge added to a speeding tickets to pay for the high price of fuel.
Police Chief Ken Ball says. He expects the fee increase, which applies to all moving violations and can [har-dee-har-har] be rescinded if gas prices fall below $3 a gallon, to generate $19,500 to $26,000 a year for the town of 7,700. If You believe this surcharge will be rescinded when fuel prices drop. Then you also believe Elvis is still alive. ;) http://www.usatoday.com/printedition...18_dom.art.htm |
then dont violate the posted speed limit...then you wont have to worry about increased fuel consumption or paying for the fuel in the crown vics.

So true, I look on this as yet another Stupidity Tax.

yes, and there are many of them, but operating on common sense can help alleviate some of the pain of a stupidity tax. |
Another revolution is coming soon if the gov doesnt get their **** together, like now. People can only take so much, individuals vari, but people willl break down soon too.

I do a lot of driving for work so I do quite a bit of speeding. As long as you keep it less than 10 over (on the interstate) they don't seem to mess with you. If a cop passes me without his blue lights on, I will follow right behind him even if he is running 90 or better.
