"Troopers giving out more tickets" in Newspaper
NEWARK - Drivers on the Garden State Parkway and teh New Jersey Turnpike should lighten up on their gas pedals.
State troopers on those two highways issued 45,930 traffic tickets between March and May, a 50 percent increase over the previous three months. It was the most tickets that troopers have handed out over the same amount of time in the last three yeares.
Officials say the reason for the increase is the additional 66 troopers who have been hired in the last year to cover the parkway and turnpike.
The executive director of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, Michael Lapolla, said the new hires replace state troopers who had been pulled away, especially after Sept. 11, to cover other areas and troopers who had retired.
--------------------------------
This confirms that there was a quota/significant increase in those previous months. 1 of those 45930 tickets was mine. bastards. lol
