I have to hand it the state police for doing a MUCH improved job of policing the HOV stretch and I know they can't get'em all....but man, it burns me up to see another lone driver in the HOV lane. BTW perhaps one of you intellectuals can describe for me what exactly constitutes a "commercial" vehicle. Every day, several (read A LOT!) of trucks or vans with multiple occupants fly by me in the HOV lane with the names of various companies plastered very clearly on the sides of thier vehicles. I never see them pulled over....I must be dead wrong on what a "commercial" vehicle is.

Bad drivers shouldn't be singularly subjected to bad law - two wrongs don't make a right. I don't think Rishell would have any great ideas either. I was just surprised and disappointed that Miller voted for it. [Ed note: this is getting off-topic.

Did you read what Miller says in the Gainesville Times article about the fees? How can we argue with that, considering the devastation he must've seen as a cop due to flagrantly aggressive and reckless driving? This shed a whole new light on this issue for me. The fees are being applied to those who break the laws right? I travel on 66 and 495 and at times feel as if I'm taking my life in my hands. I also saw an interesting stat online in the paper (think it was the MJM, but don't remember for sure) that quotes the VA State Police as saying that reckless driving ticketings have gone down since the abusive driver fees went into effect. That is good news, not bad news. Anon 7:42 At first I didn’t like the abusive drivers fees either, but learning more has changed how I feel about it.

Something needs to be done about transportation, a few years ago the tax increase failed here in NOVA. Knowing that the GA did something that would not hit everyone, since one, not everyone drives, two, it focuses on those that abuse the road system. The bill makes sense in that only those that have run afoul of the law will have to pay, if you are not one to run afoul of the law, you have nothing to worry about. Also, ask Jennette how she would pay for it. During last years debate at the AMC Jennette refused to answer the question on how she would find the revenue for her transportation plan. It does not take a genius to figure out that she would raise taxes, that would hit everyone. Anon,

Jeanette is unelectable, but I feel completely betrayed by Jackson Miller voting for those damn abusive driver fees. I saw the mailing today from Rishell and called Miller's campaign to see if it was true. They acknowledge that it indeed was. That was a bad piece of legislation. I am extremely disappointed that he would vote for something that doesn't apply to non-Virginia drivers and illegal aliens. I am pretty disgusted with both of them now and I would tell either of them that if they came knocking on my door. She came through my neighborhood over the weekend.
