What?? Virginia drivers are totally wild. Every time I see a crazy, dangerous driver in Maryland, the plates are almost always Virginia.

Good one, PP.

How about this VA driver that intentionally ran over a motorcyclist?

Of course it's about speeding. What's a better way to deter people from speeding than a financial disincentive? Seriously asking.

Only if collection is actually enforced. Should also lead to loss of license for reckless speeds!

You can still drive without a license. It's just another ticket. We aren't German.

It needs to be enforced, by humans. Where are all the state troopers? We need more.

It’s not that they are “just” speeding. They are also very bad drivers, weaving, illegal maneuvers, etc. Imo a big difference whether driving fast, recklessly, and oblivious to physics, or going faster than the limit in an empty left lane.

I find this MD vs VA crazy driver posts silly. They are all over DMV area. It’s the region, not which state tag you have.

So what?

It has always been and continues to be 100% free to drive not just the speed limit but up to 9mph over the speed limit.

I would love it if every dangerous driver was pulled over and had their license torn up on the spot. I would love it even more if every person had to take an extremely difficult driving test every 5 years to get and keep their license. There may not be the political will to do those things but every little bit counts.

I support anything that punishes people who act like driving a 3,000lb missile is not something to be taken extremely seriously. Next time you're riding as a passenger, take a look at the drivers around you. You'll be absolutely shocked how many of them are on their phones or otherwise distracted. It's completely unacceptable that as a society we've decided you can kill anyone you want with virtually no consequences as long as you're in a car when you do it and say "oops I didn't mean to!"

So much all of this! 100%!!!

I am pretty sure you don't live in Maryland.

No, I don't. And?

I mean I'd love if Maryland drivers were restricted to Maryland, but unfortunately we encounter them everywhere.

I live in DC. MD drivers are fine and a million times better than VA ones. God the VA drivers suck.

The DC ones are atrocious, too. They're less aggressive, which is good, but simply can't handle the basics of driving above 30mph.
