Is It A Decoy Or A Real Cop?
I know a lot of folks who drive Florida’s Turnpike have a hard time keeping it under the speed limit.
Every time I use the highway, which I admit isn’t that often, it seems like the average speed is 80 mph. OK, 85 mph.
That’s why it’s good to hear the FHP is stepping up speed enforcement out there.
Some drivers have reported seeing unmanned FHP cars parked near the PGA and Okeechobee exits during rush hour.
The presence of the units along the road is sure to slow some drivers. Others probably won’t be fazed a bit.

I passed one this morning one overpass south of the Okeechobee entrance on the southbound side. Definitely a phantom. Didn’t seem to slow anyone down. I was doing 74 and I might as well have been sitting as still as the empty cop car.
