New Driving Penalties effective: july 1st
I'm very familar with double jeopardy, but apparently you are not. You aren't being charged with the same crime twice, you are being given a fine for the charges you were charged with. There is no additional crime so there is no additional charge so there is no double jeopardy, but thanks for playing.
And in addition to your original fine, you'll have some more to continue paying your debt to society.

No but you did illustrate a point for me. Mistakes are made and accidents do happen. Would you like it if you could be fined for misspelling a word? It happens to the best of us. Just as you say, just don't speed and don't break these ludicrous laws and you will have nothing to worry about; if you take the time to check your spelling really quick before you post, you won't look like a jack ass.

I'm trying to get some statistics from you but you won't tell me. I can guarantee we take a poll of this board to see who's gotten a ticket for failure to signal and the results could be counted on one hand.
I don't have numbers in front of me, but from the 10 years I've been driving, the many people I know that drive and have been driving longer than that, the times I've been to court and seen the documents with charges on them, I've never heard/seen anyone getting a ticket for this.
Right, because traffic laws and spelling on a public forum are the same thing. If you need to see a jackass, just look in the mirror cause apparently you're seeing things.

Challenge the law makers. We do have control over our laws if we care enough to fight over it. When you get a ticket for one of the more stupid things on the list, get a lawyer and sue the state. Do the same when you get your bill for points on your license. If enough people don't take this lying down, the new fines will be removed or changed to something logical.
Brilliant rebuttal...
Kids...
Remember driving is a priviledge not a right. If VA wants to tack on additional fines then you have a few choices
1. STFU and deal
2. Make sure you're not breaking traffic laws
3. Please feel free to vote next time and change the people in office
It amuses me that people bitch about the laws that VA puts in place without realizing the simple fact that you (as long as you're older then 18...if not STFU, you shouldn't be driving anyway)have the ability to change things when you vote

But I agree with everything after #1

Why do you think we are required to have licenses? Well besides it is another way for the government take money from you. Since the license takes no skill or ability to get.
It is a privilege, the roads are public. For the benefit of public safety we have to be able to remove dangerous drivers from the road. The same reason we have prisons.
