Seatbelt checkpoints is just a great way for them to be like:

Oh yea, nice on having your seatbelt on, but your inspection is expirered, you have something hanging from your mirror, i smell alcohol, step out of the car.

Buffalo news reports it will be a summer long crackdown on aggressive driving. D.O.T., TTPD, APD, NYSP all to participate. I use it daily and the speeds have been creeping up since the repaving. Lots of accidents and deaths in the last few years. So, NY and local government see it as easy money. Are you going to donate? Let’s get \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* to go up there on his bike, and blow by 'em all about 140 MPH and see if they can drive.

This happens every year around Memorial Day. Biggest driving holiday of the year. No surprise here.

The amazing thing is, I didn’t see a single cop the entire length of the 990 or the 290 to Main street. This was at 5 o’clock too. :gotme:

Yeah I saw them all on the 219 today as I was going south just past Ridge, they were on that bend shooting the northbound side.

Put your V1s on and drive like old people for the next week.

DOT huh? So if I blow by that guy in the yellow and blue dump truck going 45 on the 90 he’s gonna come after me.

DOT is participating by keeping the highways shitty and full of potholes to make it impossible to speed and kill the rims of those who do

I would have had trouble keeping from laughing. What a joke.

Way to go on keeping the cops tied up pulling people over for 3 MPH over. They must be trying to recoup some of the costs from the Bucky Phillips case mis-management fiasco from last year.

That’s a good plan all the time. You never want to present irony a golden opportunity like speeding on the way to court for a traffic violation.

[/quote]

This is off topic in the thread…but ON.Topic ^  
I was leaving court in hamburg…ran the stop sign where you can drive from court to the kmart parking lot…and i got pulled over…in the danm parking lot. not 2 minutes after i walekd out of court…  
for running a red light.

I dunno. With the national crack down on seatbelts ill be intrested in hearing how this one turns out.

I can see it now:

“Do you know how fast you were going?”

“No Sir”

“64”

“Isnt the speed limit 65?”

“Yea, it is…”
