Speeders beware
An Assembly committee today approved a bill sponsored by a Southland legislator who wants to make it easier to revoke the drivers’ licenses of people with long histories of excessive speeding. Assembly Bill 2669 would double the number of points added to a motorist’s record if the person is caught driving at least 26 mph over the posted speed limit. The Assembly Transportation Committee unanimously approved the bill today. Assemblyman Paul Krekorian, D-Burbank, said the death of a woman who was struck and killed by a driver going 65 mph in a 30-mph zone was one of the major reasons he proposed the legislation. “That driver had a long history of traffic violations, but still had his license,” Krekorian said. “We need to make it easier to take away the driving privilege from those who repeatedly flaunt the speed laws and endanger the lives of our citizens.” (CNS)
Califonia doesn't do that already? I'm shocked to read that a small speeding infraction counts for no more points than 26 mph over the limit.
