The idea, according to published a report, is ÔÇ£Drive Safe and Save Money.ÔÇØ
fuck that...how am I SAVING anything by driving safe? Sure it's not costing me anything, but I dont think I'll be saving shit.

the links i read on this subject linked to the VA legislation specifically states that juveniles are subject to this law. it says NOTHING about adults being served with civil penalties.

Yet...... if it passes for juveniles, you better bet your turkish ass that it will be in place for everyone soon. Too many nimbys, yankees, madd's, etc here...

This will just lead to more and more people fighting their tickets and causing a big clusterfuck at the courthouse because the courts can't keep up with the tickets.

there is no way on Gods green earth that any politician will get voted into office if they support placing this kind of civil penalty set up on adults. and if the people were stupid enough to do that to themselves... the commonwealth will end up going up in smoke.

the liberals who sware they are for the little guy... and who have the money to pay the fines themselves... of course are going to love it... and some how get the little guys vote.
its an additional civil penalty that is going to be paid to what? road up keep? that'll be the day. they'll want to raise taxes at the same time so we can keep paying for welfare babies and lazy bitches!

I would support most of these changes (clearly I'm in the minority here). 20 over? Hell yeah, big fine. I think the "impeding traffic" is a bit odd... but hey, if you impede traffic enough for a cop to actually ticket you, you probably deserve it. Hopefully this applies to people who are halfway into an intersection, blocking it for everyone else.
I'm all for giving some teeth to laws that actually protect citizens from the dangerous actions of other citizens. It's about time we start taking driving seriously, ya know, since it is like the #1 cause of death for our age group.

What are you counting? They didn't say "increased jailtime and heavier civil service for repeat reckless driving offenders."

Then maybe we should come up with a little bit harder test to obtain your license. To me the whole process on how we get our license is a joke, and something I could have passed when I was like 6 yrs old.

nope it applies to everyone... after rereading it... its not just underaged people. who the fuck let this happen?
