I usually agree with Mr. Peters, but as a Virginia resident, I can’t back him on this one.
In the last ten years, our streets and highways have become increasingly dangerous. Day after day, I see idiotic maneuvers on a routine basis, maneuvers that I never saw just a decade ago.
The state has a long list of failures. Almost no requirement to demonstrate driver competence before one can obtain a license.
But (like our borders), the state has (for the most part) refused to enforce existing laws, at least to the point where people obey them.
So if they are actually enforced (doubtful) I support $1,000 fines on people who are caught going 20 miles + over the posted speed limit. Odds are, this is not the only offense these drivers are guilty of. They’re likely the same people who tailgate an inch or two behind people who are driving over the speed limit and in the center or right lane of the highway, who weave in an out of traffic without using their turn signals and who do the recent “drive up to within 2” of the rear bumper of the car in front then slash away, like you’re the drafting car at a NASCAR event,” maneuver.
p>Fine them all. And if they can’t pay it, revoke their license and get them off of the road. br> — Brian /p>
