Starting November 7th, in all 5 boroughs of New York City, the speed limit on City streets will be lowered from 30 mph to 25 mph, unless otherwise posted. (The change does not apply to highways, which have a 50 mph default limit). http://www.ny.aaa.com/Safety/DriverSafety/Traffic-Safety/Speed-Limit-25-MPH.aspx

Yup. It'll help save you money on "speeding" tickets.

The only great part about this is that every once in a while you can get a decent radar detector for $189 and plastic covers for your license plates are 1 for $49, 2 for $89!
I can personally vouch for their effectiveness!

Now this thread belongs in the DDR section ;)

So is speeding!! :)
It isn't in some states but here in NYC I believe it is so use at your own risk!!
If you're going to speed anyways you're probably better off doing this, IMHO.

Do cops ever actually give fines for this? Is it very readily noticeable to the naked eye?

I don't know if they pull people over for this, but if you get pulled over for anything else, this just makes it worse.

Not more than 200 bucks? That is out of sync with its expected benefit.

Would you like to lobby the lawmakers to increase the fine?

Maybe they should decrease the speeding and red light fines to make it work.

I know someone who got pulled over with one of these, the cop told him to take it off. He said no just give me the ticket, it's worth it.... The cop couldn't force him.
A definite benefit with these
