[DeTomaso] Cleveland/Windsor Differences? Was Life Expectancy

[Michael Shortt]

You ain't seen nothing yet, wait until you read the newest Traffic Laws in
Virginia which go into effect on July 1st.

If you are a bad driver and live in VIRGINIA you better do all your bad
driving before SUNDAY.

According to USA TODAY reporter Dennis Cauchon, on JULY 1 if you live in
Virginia and get caught driving with a suspended license it will cost you
$750 on top of existing fines and court fees.

According to the article, if you get caught going 20 miles an hour over the
speed limit you will have to pay $1,050 PLUS $61 IN COURT COSTS AND a FINE
of $200.

If you are caught driving drunk and it is a FIRST-TIME OFFENSE you will have
to pay $2,250 PLUS FINES AND COURT COSTS THAT COULD RUN ANOTHER $500. For
the most serious offenses a Virginia driver could get a $3,000 ticket.

Cauchon says the new fines are expected to bring in $65 MILLION A YEAR and
will be used to improve Virginia's roads. Traffic court attorney Thaddeus
Furlong told the paper, "WHEN MR. and MRS. MIDDLE CLASS FIND OUT WHAT THEY
HAVE TO PAY, THERE's GOING TO BE A BACKLASH LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN."

Lon Anderson of AAA MID-ATLANTIC disagrees. "THESE PENALTIES ARE HARSH, BUT
NORMAL FINES HAVEN'T GOTTEN PEOPLE TO DRIVE SANELY. MAYBE THIS WILL."

Whatever you do Paris Hilton, just don't move to Virginia!
