The ones with repeated violations are really at the top of my list. *mini-rant over......carry on. _________________________

The ones with repeated violations are really at the top of my list. *mini-rant over......carry on. Well then you must REALLLLLY hate me then. While I have no problem with the concept of rule of law; the current situation in Texas, and the US is totally intolerable. There are so many statutes, regulations, and ordinances that no one even remotely has a handle on even half of them. What Texas, and America need is a MAJOR spring-cleaning when it comes to laws eliminating 85% to 95% of them. Government is totally out of control and is passing ever more laws that are primarily designed to, by hook or crook, reach into the private business of the individual, and into their pocketbooks. Nothing would please me more than the impeachment of every judge, and DA in Texas.

KingwoodCat TFF Guru Registered: 10/30/04 Posts: 17785 Loc: Kingwood TX	Originally Posted By: SoggySammitch Just to let you guys know, I received 3 citations in 2010. 2 were speeding, the other crossing into the HOV. Yea I know, but to get to the point. It is costing me $156.00 each year for 3 consecutive years to avoid suspension on my driver privileges. Im not sure exactly how this system works and I have never heard of this "SURCHARGE POINT SYSTEM" until 2010. I asked a rep of the DPS where the money goes and what it is used for when I pay this surcharge. She responded saying 45.6% goes to a trauma center. HUH? Like JPS? The other half of the percentage goes to I dont know cause I was distracted by Day 2 of the Bassmasters Classic Tourney at the Delta. And 1% goes to administration fees. Next question was when did this start? She replied 2003. She also said its going to make drivers "better drivers" because they will know that they have to pay this kind of fee every year for 3 years if they receive citations . Just a warning to all.. It Sucks!!!! My $100 Radar detector has probably saved me $5K in Tickets. Unfortunately there is a new type out there called "Lidar" that it doesn't work on. It cost me $100 in LA. The next one I buy will be a more high dollar unit. _________________________ "I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." — Thomas Jefferson

TexasBlonde TFF Guru Registered: 03/11/05 Posts: 11070 Loc: on the Red River	I can't even remember the last time I had a traffic ticket. It has been at least 35-40 years since I had one. I do remember the last time I was stopped but the DPS officer did not give me a ticket. _________________________ A new man has captured grandma's heart.
