Find other ways of generating revenues if you ask me. Remove the 60 years of asinine regulations placed upon small businessmen and repeal or severely reduce the taxes being imposed upon their citizens.
Just a thought though I am sure it will be too simple for those eggheads that think everything is complicated.
I can assure you that I will not be visiting Virginia so long as they keep this stupid law on the books. I understand that it is not being enforced at this moment but as long as it is there the ruling can be reversed and it can be used.
JMHO
Right on. Highway speed limits as typically enforced are nothing more than a driving tax - and an inconsistent and unevenly applied tax at that. If they need the revenue that badly, raise the gas tax 10 cents.
All those troopers camped out by the highway making 70 in a 55 revenue stops could be cracking down on dangerous driving instead. Or better yet, fired and working a private sector job that has customers instead of victims.
The previous thread on today’s ruling indicated this was “The case of Anthony Price, who was facing his fifth charge of driving on a suspended license.”
I don’t know if he was speeding or not, but jail is the only effective way I can think of to get this alleged offender off the road.
The law does not apply to any driver in the state of Virginia who is not a registered Virginia driver.
You could drive drunk on I95 at rush hour backwards at 120mph and if you do not have a Virginia license, you can’t be slapped with the enhanced “tax.”
