Thread: new Virginia fines

Tweet

Sounds like another good way for the state to generate 50 bucks from each owner of antique tags..... Might be for finding out who the clowns were that enacted such a ridiculous law and do something about making sure they are unemployed after the next election!!!! No government has any more power then the voters allow them to have.......

An artilcle today in the Washington Post shows the power of the voter on this issue:

An online petition against Virginia's steep new "abusive driver" fees—some of which can top $1,000—neared 100,000 signatures, accelerating lawmakers' calls for the General Assembly to rescind them before voters go to the polls Nov. 6. Many lawmakers say they are being deluged with comments from constituents opposed to the fees, which are aimed at drunk and reckless drivers.

If only our hobby could get such a response, maybe states wouldn't be rushing to crush vintage tin.
