My main problem is there are making the stiff fines not to deture the offenses from happening but "TO RAISE FUNDS" in the State of Virginia.
That totally blows.
So yer car passes State Inspection and 2 months later a Cop pulls you over and fines you $1,000 for bad tires. That inspection is good for a year. That blows.
Thoughts? Fears? Anger?

First off it says nothing about fining someone driving on bald tires. Maybe people will start driving as they should and not act like they own the road and risking the lives of others. I'm in the insurance business and I have seen some driving records that I just cant believe that they still have a valid lic.. I know this bill does not address this but maybe the heafty fines may make one think a little more before driving like a fool.
Ok I have to edit this as it does adress bald tires. Not sure how this is going to go over in Va. as I just heard of this about 4 days ago and it seems as our local goverment did some late night work when no one was watching.
