Traffic Law Hoax

Last week I read an article from the local weekly paper that there will be new changes to the traffic violation fines - what catches my eyes is the purported hike in carpool violation fine: $1,068.50 for 1st timer, *doubles* for 2nd offense, and *triples* for 3rd offense.

I just found out today that this whole thing is a hoax. It is one of those viral emails that got so widespread that it becomes the truth to some people. Even the local paper got fooled. My sister always says, "a lie told a hundred times becomes the truth." Here's an actually example. Ha!
