I still find it bullshit you need to get a third DUI/DWI before you can be charged with a felony. Fuck that bullshit.
Hey dude we agree on something, lol

They should take your ability to drive for the rest of your life, fk em, ride the bus, they are not responsible enough to be trusted.

Its easy guys.

Just use your signals.

I'm all for it. Thats what they're there for. It pisses me off when people don't use them. If I get caught with that ticket, I'm going to pay, cuz its my fault.

So your all for, an out of state resident driving in VA paying 900-3000 dollars less of a fine for the same infraction? If you read the second paragraph you'll note why these penalties are being put into place, and it's not for enhanced driver awareness and safety concerns, it's strictly for more fuckin money, which is why they took away the courts ability to lower or suspend the civil penalties in certain cases. Somebody is gettin rich off this one.

If you failed to use your blinker on the driver test...guess what...you failed. Speeding up and forcing yourself into the lane doesn't give you right of way. USE YOUR F**KING TURN SIGNALS!!!!!! oh and bike riders...using you feet doesn't count as a hand signal

skip to the latest version, the one that was enacted 04/04/07 and turned into
04/11/07 Governor: Acts of Assembly Chapter text (CHAP0896)
search for "46.2-206.1. Imposition of certain additional fees on certain drivers." and you'll find it as an amendment to the bill

I whipped over into another lane just the other day without using a signal right in front of a cop, he didn't look twice. I'll have to be more careful about that from now on.
