Too late. I pondered, but your article is a new one. Going to merge it in with the other thread instead.

Completely off topic:

Jim, I think I saw you one morning waaaay back in April or May at the pentagon exit to crystal city. I was on my old Buell and saw someone on a FJR at the S. Eads (i think that's it) & Army Navy Drive and asked how the bike was said I was looking to buy one blah blah blah, then further down on S. Eads the person on the FJR was completely cut off by some **** on a Goldwing making a right turn from the left travel lane.

I gots me one of them thar reckless tickets...not sure why? I mean I was (w)reckless, after all.
I guess I shouldn't be making light of the getting one, but uh..it's all I can do right now.

Are you kidding??? Planning to fight it? I sure would be.

How would this work for an out-of-state violation?

As an out-of-state visitor? If so, already answered:

The tax applies only to Virginia residents, so that out-of-state motorists only need to pay the regular ticket amount.

If a Virginian is out-of-state...it would depend on the state they're in.

I don't believe it is possible for Virginia to impose the civil penalty to a Virginian who was caught speeding in another state. If Virginia did try to impose it, I'm certain it would get successfully challenged on a variety of points of law.

IMO, the only thing Virginia DMV can do for a conviction from another state is attach the conviction record to their driver's license, and if in a reciprocal state, suspend the license if the other state suspends it.

As far as HOV lanes and motorcycles go, Federal Law allows motorcycles to use HOV lanes in ALL states, even with a solo rider.

I absolutely plan to fight it (David Albo's plan is working out nicely, that son of a ***** :glare: ) I mean I did **** up, there's no two ways about it. I got onto 495 without checking my six o'clock before settling into a fast cruise (between 80-90mph) in the left lane. Next thing I knew there were party lights and sounds behind me. I also did pass one guy on the shoulder, but that's because he drove into my lane when I was probably five feet (max) from his rear bumper - that was also included as part of the "reckless" ticket.

Oh mannnn, I feel for ya' mister. I hope that there are enough folks that fight this new legislation & it gets dropped from the books. Some totally redick **** going on w/ this legislation.

Someone else asked if the laws extends to VA residents that get a ticket outside of VA. I don't think so.

Oh.paul, please let us know how this turns out, ok? Best of luck to you.

Tell them your an illegal alien.

They will then probably give YOU $1,000 instead of fining you that amount!

Hasta La Vista!

Apparently the politicos in Virginia are feeling the heat:

[SIZE=14pt]Democrats Try to Turn Anger Over Fees Into Votes[/SIZE]
By Amy Gardner

Washington Post Staff Writer

Wednesday, August 1, 2007; B05

Public upset over steep new fees for traffic violations is taking center stage in a growing number of Virginia legislative elections, threatening incumbents who supported the measure and increasing speculation that Republicans will lose seats in the General Assembly.

On doorsteps, in e-mails and in phone calls, candidates are hearing from thousands of voters that the fees, which apply to the state's most egregious driving offenses and in some cases reach $3,000, must be repealed. The GOP-controlled legislature and Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) supported the fees to finance road and transit improvements.

Both Republicans and Democrats voted for the plan, muddying the prospect of laying blame. But the fees were conceived by Republicans to avoid raising taxes, and Democratic challengers in particular have seized upon that fact to gain the advantage Nov. 6.

I think the alien crack crossed the line there. Thread closed. Anybody have a problem with that....talk to your fellow board members about politics.
