This was clipped from a local racing forum, I have no reason to doubt
it's validity although I didn't get to check it out... snip The Massachusetts State Police and the Department of Transportation today announced that Troop E of the State Police will roll numerous extra patrols on the Massachusetts Turnpike from Friday through Monday as part of a multi-state effort to enforce traffic laws and interdict dangerous drivers. Massachusetts and 14 other states tomorrow will kick off the “I-90/94 Challenge” on Interstates 90 and 94 across the United States. Here, Troop E, which is responsible for patrolling the Turnpike (Route 90) from Boston to the New York line, will conduct enforcement efforts focusing on distracted and impaired driving, excessive speed, seatbelt use, motorcycle violations, and defective equipment on and unsafe driving of large trucks and buses. Troop E will utilize marked, semi-marked, low profile, and unmarked patrol vehicles. In addition to normal staffing levels, additional troopers will be added to every shift throughout the 96-hour period to conduct saturation patrols throughout the length of the Turnpike. The road patrols will be complemented by patrols run by members of the Troop E Community Action Team and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit. /snip Be careful out there, looks like it's open season or commuters this weekend ![]() |

Hope they nail a couple of hundred people texting while driving. I was on Rt.3 driving south (towards the Cape) today, heading just a few exits down to Lowe's to pick up some light bulbs. Traffic was heavier than normal for a Thursday ... maybe due to vacationers heading for Plymouth or down the Cape for the weekend. I was in the granny lane and passed a Honda who was in the passing lane but only doing about 45 mph and weaving back and forth. First thought was a DUI, so I kept an eye on him. They I realized he was texting on a cell phone, occasionally looking up to see where he was on the road. This went on for a few minutes, then he put the phone down and sped up to match traffic speed (passing me). Love to see people like him nailed. |

Poor L'il Snottie doesn't realize that effective law enforcement is a good thing.
One of the better uses of our tax dollars. |

I drove in and around New York City and northern New Jersey for many years and none of them can compare to Boston drivers for shear reckless aggression. |

Yup... but I hate to see some poor slob with a light out on his trailer have his weekend ruined by a cop looking to beef up the fines... Agreed on the texting, I see it daily... I never think "drunk" anymore, I know better. |

That would get them too many locals.. they want interstate travelers and vacationers so it makes less impact on those paying their paychecks.. They will be looking harder at "out of state" plates, no doubt... |
