Down economy could mean more speeding tickets
• USA TodayThe recession may be claiming a new victim:
the 5-10-mph "cushion" police and state troopers across the USA have
routinely given motorists exceeding the speed limit.
As cities and states scramble to fill budget gaps with revenue from traffic citations, "not only are the (speeding) tolerances much lower, but the frequency of a warning instead of a ticket is way down," says James Baxter, president of the National Motorists Association, a Wisconsin-based drivers' rights group that helps its members fight speeding tickets.
