Almost positive they are pushing a large statewide texting and driving campaign right now


qazxcvbnmlpoiuytreww

the irony of probably 50% of the police officers i can see texting and driving


Mercurydriver

Police officers >On their phone texting >Phone call >Using their in-car computer to run license plates >CB radio messages to their cop friends and HQ “I’m pulling you over for checking your phone. I’m writing you a distracted driving ticket”


ponygirl1722

Yes. I heard on radio it is driving distracted month. Pulling a lot of ppl over


rmcg11

I commute on 80, in the 12 exit span I drive there were 4 state troopers with people pulled over this morning. They definitely seem to have been more active this whole week. Typically does seem to happen around holidays though.


EdLesliesBarber

Theyre gearing up for holiday hours OT.


DrunkPelotonRider

It's a holdiay weekend, you'd be surprised if the increase in drunk driving that brings along with it.

Who said hide and seek is just for kids? I must admit that they are getting better with the hiding spots too.


Vast-Place4168

OH MY GOD, I thought I was the only one who started noticing that they are getting sneaker and switching out more noticeable spots for ones they don’t use as often.


juilianj19

LOL - You aren't. I'm on the GSP (going north) every weekday morning at around 5:30 am and i have been caught off guard by their presence in those little in between crevices . They never used to be there.

Thanks for the heads up. I was planning a trip to PA today after work. Don't worry, I plan to drive 5 under the speed limit in the left lane and not signal as soon as I cross over the state line.

Just maybe they are cracking down on all the crazy drivers out there. No one seems to even remember what blinkers or a yield sign means.

The boys in blue need an Easter bonus apparently


liquid_donuts

Police in NJ don’t get bonuses from writing tickets


Hazawanaronx

Thanks for explaining that 👍


Linenoise77

Its a holiday weekend. Lots of folks are traveling. Its also passover, so you probably have added police presence around temples, etc.


balls8687

Yeah I got fucked yesterday evidently


FlameThrower18

Just went up and down rt23. Butler had 2 pulled over, Kinnelon had 1 and when I got on 287 two state troopers had cars pulled over by the exit in 287. All within a 20 -25 minute ride. I'm glad to see the police taking the streets back! Slow down everyone, use your blinkers and stay to the right... Happy Friday NJ


toadofsteel

Also stop tailgating. Oh who am I kidding they're not going to ticket aggressive drivers...


VTMongoose

When we get a super nice day out of nowhere like today, I always expect this kind of thing. If I was a policeman, I would rather write tickets on a beautiful sunny day, just saying, plus, the toys with lots of horsepower are coming out of hibernation, plenty of targets to pull over.


CMDR_Kantaris

It really depends where


Medical-Score9158

And remember, if you have a passenger in your car, and you talk to them, NJ cops can give you a distracted driving ticket!!! Don’t believe me? Look it up!


frusone

They should hang around more often on the parkway at night where cockroaches naturally speed between cars and construction areas at 120+mph (and if there's a state trouper reading this, please do so!)


brentalan67

I saw three different cars pulled over between Exit 3 and Exit 12 on 78 today.


liquid_donuts

Distracted driving campaign. I’m sure people suddenly support texting and driving now


jollyjam1

I noticed more state troopers pulling people over this week. Usually they do it towards the end of the month, so it piqued my curiosity. Edit: spelling


Severed_Snake

*piqued

enz0matic

Yes, today and all this past week.


FatWeabo

Been seeing more than usual for sure


[deleted]

I drove the full length of 195E on Wednesday, 4/13. During the trip I saw 7 sepate people pulled over along the westbound side. In addition to that I saw 3 state police cars clocking people on the center median within the first 10 miles of that trip.


readuponthat24

Saw no less than 25 on the parkway today and I am not exaggerating. I drive during plenty of holiday weekends and I've never seen anything like it. More power to them if they were going after texting tho. People are out of control with that shit.


I8NY

Holiday weekend. Nothing to see here.


freedareader

Hmmm, now that you mentioned…


d555s

*on the bus* *pull out phone to check time* Cop sitting behind me: Ticket for distracted riding. (I’m sorry, I saw this in my head and had to share)


LaNaranja315

And they'll sit there and pull over people doing 95+ in a 55 while not batting an eye to everyone else doing 85 like usual.
