I use the DMV Police guide. Some of the wording is a bit different from the VTL, but its pretty good and it fits in the front pocket of my patrol bag so its always handy.
I have written a ton of the 1144A tickets..albeit on a parkway, but I think its a great cite.I make my living on Irish welfare.

RIP to Trooper Dobson.
Even though the move over law is in full effect, I still see a lot of cars not moving over on the parkways here in Long Island. There should more enforcement on that so people will finally get the idea. Run a speed trap and while the first Trooper is with the person, the second Trooper right after them will pull over those violating the laws.
Also one question, does NY state law mandate that a Troopers vehicle must be in view of oncoming cars when running a speed trap or are you able to park after an overpass and run enforcement?

Example: You guys did a number on 390S this morning between Rush and Avon Exits! Two Tahoes, a slick-top CVPI and even the van had a commercial pulled over at the Geneseo Exit. And yes, I did notice the Tahoe on the overpass. This visible presence has waaay more impact on motorists than hiding in the bushes. I understand that it's not great for revenue enhancement, but people slow down because they see you out there, not because they don't. Just my opinion. Stay safe guys, thank you for your work. Prayers to Tpr. Dobson's family.Last edited by NYSP61; 03-28-2011, 11:28 PM.

Also, a question regarding vehicle position when making a stop: 95% of the time when I see a trooper make a stop, their car is mostly-100% out of the laneway. It seems to me that this is the safest approach, to get as far out of the lane as possible. Why do some deparments stop cars literally halfway into the lane, when there is plenty of shoulder left, and quite often flat, grassy ground? I think I understand that it is to get people to slow down, but I don't see how this could be safe, to have half of the vehicle into the lane of traffic. If you are far enough off of the roadway, people could safely drive by, feet from you and the motorist, instead of just inches.
Just something I thought about given the recent unfortunate accident. Stay safe and thank you!
