[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] If you thought crossing into Maryland and Virginia could get you out of paying those driving tickets you got in D.C., think again.

On Tuesday, the Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education and Responsibility (STEER) Act went into effect in D.C. to combat dangerous drivers who don’t live in the District.

Under the new law, Attorney General for the District of Columbia Brian Schwalb will be able to sue drivers who haven’t paid tens of thousands of dollars in traffic fines — even if they don’t live in the District. Prior to this, Maryland and Virginia drivers could rack up tickets in D.C. and not be held accountable.

“The Attorney General is hiring two attorneys who are going to work full time on this, and they’re going to be taking people who have these huge sums, and they’re going to take them to court,” said D.C. Council member Charles Allen.[/quote]

Great move. Hope they take away the cars of these repeat offenders.[/quote]
How is that going to be enforced?[/quote]
