40 MPH Really???

[HoneyBadger]

I went outside to pick up my newspaper at 6:30 this morning and a Cumberland Township policeman had pulled an older lady for for...speeding, perhaps.

At about 7:02 this morning in front of the abandoned gas station on the Biglerville Rd. a woman passed my car and there are no passing zones on the B-ville Rd. from my home to town. I was driving my standard 40-42 MPH because the police are always out - or not.

It startled me so badly that yes - I blew the horn AND flipped her off. Her male passenger returned the favor.

Officer - where were you? You caught an old lady speeding on South Ave. vs tagging a vehicle passing on a double yellow line and exceeding the speed limit. You missed the money maker.

No, I didn't try to catch her but if I had gotten make and tags I would have called it in.

Chief Boehs was quoted in the paper that police will be doing more speed enforcement.

I think there is more speed enforcement all over. I've noticed it more and more on Route 30 and even Old 30. State and Cumberland Twp.

Yes they are. The other day I was going down Old 30 and the State Troopers had a minivan pulled over. Had to chuckle though when I saw the vanity plate on the van.... HOT VAN. Maybe they were profiling? Just kidding, Spitz.

I am all for profiling i don't mind them pulling me over if they also start pulling over every Hispanic that drives also and don't get me started about middle eastern people .I believe we all need to drive legally and with a little sense , and it all starts with insurance and a registered/ inspected vehicle .

I agree with you. I used to defend farm workers because of the hard work they do. Then I discovered that many buy cars and insure them long enough to get tags and then drop insurance. I guess that's why they run every time they crash into someone. It's too expensive for those of us who drive legally to cover their accidents.
