I've heard that if the violation is minor, the PBA card gets you off. If it's "major", they take it. If they cost money or are valuable in other ways (limited numbers), it has become a ticketing/revenue system for the PBA that is set up upstream of the state laws. I wouldn't be above using it if I had access but I also think it's an awful 'system'. Your ticket depends on whether you have PD in your family? WTF? Some kind of 'justice'. I wonder if it's a NY/NJ/CT area thing or if it's across the whole country...

As for AF, at least you had the card. Sounds like the "porsche" drew his attention and full desire to punish. Similar happened to me exactly once in more than ten years of driving porsches. I was very much singled out while driving like every other aggressive NJ driver that was in front of me (I hardly do so anymore) but I was in a red cayman.
