State Route 15

Sparta, New JerseySep 06, 20080 Comments

This one’s huge! My first DUI stop and boy was I glad I was dead sober. Northbound Rt.15 on a weekend, as you clear the first hill entering Sparta, you’ll see one sitting on the shoulder southbound, lights on; that’s in case you turn around; a "Road Work Ahead" sign (very deceptive) then just before the first exit, as you clear the hill, there’s like 8 units and 15 officers and a big trailer on the right. Follow the flashlights throught the cones to where they tell you, and they stick their head in your face and start asking questions. Flashlights shining everywhere. They understand your nervous but be courteous and tell the truth and you won’t have a problem. There were a few cars parked with no drivers, so I guess they had a problem. This is a mobile setup and I don’t know if it was the state’s or not, but thankfully I haven’t seen it since. I’m also not sure if they do this from time to time or it was some kind of blitz. And frankly I don’t really want to know what’s in the trailer or what goes on there. Just drive on and don’t wave to the northbound guy on the shoulder. He’s there in case you run or he thinks your being a wiseguy and getting away. BTW-I had a friend killed by a drunk driver. Don’t do it. This is just a friendly heads up so you can drive safer. Because I don’t agree with HLS money being used for town revenue or the preying on drivers for minor errors. I can’t tell you how many cell phones I see everywhere. Did you watch the video with the popcorn?? I don’t want that thing anywhere near my head!
