[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well this is good news if it goes through. I support this (but still DC still MUST also get reciprocity to be able to hold MD and VA drivers accountable!).

Bill introduced today by Elissa Silverman would actually do a traffic safety class for serious offenders AND use speed limiting equipment on city vehicles. Also looks like it increases car booting. Good.

If a vehicle is levied a fine and that fine is paid, then it would be an unconstitutional taking to impound that vehicle to compel the owner to take a class. [/quote]

I believe booting is only occurring, even in this scenario, if the ticket is unpaid.

If NYC was able to legally implement a class, DC should be able to as well. I hope.[/quote]

DC doesn't boot much but has re-started doing so in the last few months but to be booted in DC you need two unpaid citations each at least 60 days old before you are boot and tow eligible.[/quote]

I sometimes run license plates on drivers that are horrible and it's amazing how many people have months, or sometimes years, of unpaid tickets, accruing thousands of dollars. Try it. It's just mind boggling.[/quote]
