Dear Readers, Virginia libertarian automotive journalist & author Eric Peters wrote this week about the utter absurdity of our traffic laws, and the perverse incentives they are creating:
-------- "There is certainly such a thing as reckless driving. Examples include driving on the curb with your toes while both hands are occupied with liter bottles of Jack Daniels. It is also arguably the lost-in-the-fog of Alzheimers senile citizen who serially wanders lazily over the double yellow and back - but whom cops will almost never charge with reckless anything, or even pull them over for that matter. But it is not driving faster than 20 MPH over a preposterously under-posted speed limit or even doing 93 MPH. Cops do this all the time I have personally paced them doing it and theyre neither charged with reckless driving nor ashamed to do it." -------- The full article is here: http://ericpetersautos.com/2014/08/06/sexual-battery-speeding/ Take a few minutes to check out Eric's writing. -- Marc Montoni, Secretary Libertarian Party of Virginia P.S.
