TRAFFIC IS A MESS!!!!






SIGN ME http://www.petitiononline.com/va3202/petition.html
The current situation concerning traffic in my city is a mess…in my region is a mess….in my state is a mess ….if you know anything about driving in Va. you probably think the same thing. They have found a fix for the situation tho!!!! The state has just passed new laws that attach civil penalties to major and semi major traffic offencesI mean really!!! Imagine me paying $5500 for a speeding ticket that shit is absurd, and if I don’t pay they suspend my drivers license … Wow so I guess if my car gets a rejection on the on the inspection …it would be cheaper to just by a new car than to run the risk of driving and getting a reckless’ driving ticket. What needs to happen is… the guy that let the Mercury Blvd. exit project run over time and over budget should have made a major contribution to that fund. Instead the taxpayers carry the burden of letting him miss manage millions of dollars and suffer no repercussions. Are we the people, paying him to manage or to sit back and wait for things to go wrong? Back to the fines tho …. Most people don’t have a license because they can’t afford to pay the fine at the time the fine is levied. So they deal with the suspension until the reach a point in time where they can save up the 300 or 500 dollars that the fines and court cost run. In the mean time, the should not be driving. The regional transit system is not that of a Metro in DC, Marta in Atlanta and it’s definitely nothing like caching the train in New York … but never the less we try to lure major football franchises and pro basketball and baseball teams to join in on the funny…. like who wants to sit in traffic for two hours just to see a game and if you leave late you might not make it there till about half time if your lucky. I’m thinking I hate the current situation of the region …but I don’t think this was the way to go about getting the funds together …I think they are just making a bad situation worse.
