NAC: Va Speeding Tax...oops, I Meant Ticket

[mkb]

This is ridculous...

VA Speeding Tix NOW $3550 -- Get Ready!!!
You need to read about this new law that takes effect JULY 1 -- and, the huge increase ONLY applies to VA residents (if you are from another state, you receive the regular charge).  This is just crazy how they hid this law into other legislation.  AND, the law prevents judges from reducing or suspending the high fee!!!  Go to:   http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/18/1818.asp   for story/details.  Spread the word.

I've heard the argument on this forum that speeding tickets are revenue enhancement schemes but never really believed that our local governments would stoop so low but, from the fine article:

"The purpose of the civil remedial fees imposed in this section is to generate revenue," the new law states. (Virginia Code 46.2-206.1)

right there in balck 'n white.  Now that's what I would call a revenue enhancement scheme.

Watch out if you're driving in VA folks.
