Driving in South Orange County (a warning)

[BobbyTheDon]

Hey. I got this in an email. This applies to those of us who live in South Orange County (cali). I'm not sure if it's legit, but what the heck.




Drive safely. ....



California Highway Patrol will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy in
South Orange County starting January 25, 2006. The state estimates that 22
million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 3 million will go
to
pay California Highway Patrol officer overtime. There will be 90
California
Highway Patrol officers on duty at all times patrolling the 7 freeways.
They are the following: 73, 55, 133, 241, 57, 5, 605 freeways.

Now 7 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every California
Highway
Patrol officer is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10
minutes.

They have issued 50 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and they
are
bringing all their part timers on full time. If you live or work in South
Orange County you must take one of their freeways. It's up to you how fast
you are doing when they do. This is a test by the CHP to raise the extra
funds for the State of California. The wealthy folks of South Orange
County
can afford this new tax. The California State Legislators dreamed up this
law to help close the budget gap or something like that. I was told
KICU-FM
confirmed all of this. So be safe and don't forget speeding tickets are on
you.

You've been warned.

If I send you an email that says the local news reports that aliens have invaded the planet, will you forward that on to everyone in your address book, too?


This is no more true than that.

While it appears that my signature would see to apply to me, it actually applies more so to you. Someone else was suppose to respond to this, as an inside joke, but they deleted their post.

So cheers to you
