- Thread starter lRageATMl
- Start date
Nice to see that someone is actually doing something about this. I was getting ready to throw cases of Lipton into the river.
come on MACA we can get atleast 300 signatures. But make sure you sign if you said you would.....nevermind.
Signed!
Signed.
Hopefully this gets some notice.

Not a VA resident. What are the fines again? I heard something like $3,000?
i believe there was a 1k$ increase for improper lane change/no turn signal use. there was a 2250 increase for dui/dwi. a 3k dollar increase for a reckless driving and repeat offenders. the processing fee can also be raised to a max of 10x which would be an additional 750 dollars so your potentially looking at a max of 4k or so with court fees. thats about the jist of it.

If the other states follow suit, I'm moving to Canadadrksniper said:
well right now its only for virginia residents as well. out of state people have nothing to worry about. they also said its been put in place to help directly pay for the road improvement projects currently going on.

Directly pay for the roads, while financing the law firms that sponsored the bill.
I'm giving this bill *edit, woops it's a law* no more than 6 months, or until its shot down by the highest court. Which it should be.

TTT - almost 80K. If this had more press we'd be at 500K by now.
I am looking foward to sending letters to each and every piece of shit lawmaker that voted for this. I'll give them my "Yankee" piece of mind.

TTT passed the 100K mark!
I also noticed that this law will be the subject on the CNN morning show (forget the name) at 6AM - going to DVR it to see the opinions.

haha. awesome, i'll def have to watch t hat
watched it on CNN this morning. David Albo is an idiot.
Wow, just read that Post article. Didn't know the thing had over 125k signatures on it. The reasons of the petition are very good ones and added points that I didn't even know were on the bill.
Here is an interesting fact...
"A one-cent increase in the gasoline tax, which has not been raised since 1986, would generate about $50 million a year."
I'm pretty sure nobody would even notice a one cent increase in a gas tax, plus it would collect almost the same revenue of these stupid fines. Some of us have barely been alive since the last one. I know I'm not a VA resident, but when I drove down to Va Beach this past weekend, I made a point not to do more than 20 over. Of course, I never saw a cop on the highway the entire trip down or back.

the laws only effect virginia residents. any out of state drivers will get charged the normal fees. virginia is the state for people who love to bone people who live in virginia. its the state for lovers after all.
