Electronic Traffic Tickets On Their Way

You know that awful feeling you get when you have to sit and wait while the police officer writes you a ticket? Not just that adrenaline rush from being pulled over, but the sense of shame as people drive by, glancing in your direction and saying to themselves, "Man, glad it wasn't me"? Well, that feeling will always be there but your wait will be shorter soon thanks to a new electronic traffic ticket system being implemented which allegedly cuts the time taken to issue a ticket in half, thus enabling Johnny Law to get back out on the highway and issue more tickets. Officials hope to have the system in place by the end of the year. Um, hooray?
