Greetings. I want to share some thoughts about a Virginia Bill from the General assembly that would allow State troopers to send traffic tickets through the US mail. I have, always, been fascinated by technology. It has offered society a series of modern conveniences but at the same time, it has been a curse. Thieves are getting smarter and ID theft is a real problem to us. My thoughts is directed this time towards traffic. As I stated, previously, a bill is awaiting our governor's signature which would allow the mailing of tickets to our home. Simply put, when you go into a construction site and it says 50 mph and you are going 12 miles past the speed limit, you can get a ticket sent to your home courtesy of the Virginia State Police Department. It works like this--The State trooper holds a handheld photo speed monitoring device and bingo, you are busted! The cost? It can be up to $125. I guess that cost compared to some states is not too bad. In South Carolina, you can do 30 days in jail if they catch you speeding in a construction zone. My thoughts are that safety is first. Many accidents have involved some workers and there has got to be a way to stop this. I have been to some construction sites where you have no choice but to go the speed of traffic. I think this bill is fair because it would not fine you until you reach speeds of 12 miles over the speed limit. By the way, the powers that be are experimenting with putting speed monitors on the highway that will send the fine to your home, so it is a matter of time until this reaches your home state. Your thoughts? http://bit.ly/2STad5G
