In Florida there is already a law in place for motorcycles, that if you get caught speeding 30 mph over the posted speed limit, the arresting officer has the right to confiscate your bike and have it sold at a public auction. Aso starting July 1st of this year the same law applies for your car. Our rights are going done the tube slowly but surely. I smell communism.

Bad news for Florida riders, as of October 1st, anyone caught doing 30 over in that state faces confiscation of their vehicle, five to ten years in prison and a ten-year license suspension. We say `anyone' because bill HB 137, which was originally targeted at motorcyclists, was amended to apply to all vehicles.
State Representative Carlos Lopez-Cantera introduced the bill to the Florida State Legislature last November after witnessing motorcycle riders wheelying and cutting through traffic on a ride-along with Miami police. The bill has understandably created an uproar in the motorcycle community, but has experienced little opposition from the motorcycle industry and lobby groups.
A lobbyist representing ABATE did express concerns that the bill unfairly targeted motorcyclists, arguing that penalties for motorists who violate motorcycle rider's right of way, injuring or killing them, are substantially lower.
While the bill was altered to include all vehicles, the anti-motorcycle language remains, specifically that which discusses the revocation of the motorcycle endorsement.

Up to ten years for speeding? You could do less time if you robbed someone.[:(!]
Bad news for Florida riders: As of October 1, anyone caught going over 30 face confiscation of their vehicle, five to 10 years in prison and a 10-year license suspension. We say "anyone" because bill HB 137, originally targeted at motorcyclists, was amended to apply to all vehicles.
State Representative Carlos Lopez-Cantera introduced the bill to the Florida State Legislature this past November after witnessing motorcycle riders wheelying and cutting through traffic on a ride-along with Miami police. Understandably, the bill has created an uproar in the motorcycle community but has experienced little opposition from the motorcycle industry and lobby groups.

if it slows you down and spanks you where it hurts...it works.[^]
you can rob and rape someone and get way less time. and you think this is a good thing.
a friend lost his superbee, He was speeding down on
A1A. We were in duval county, excessive speed.
they took his car, took it apart.
auctioned the parts off.
its been on the books fot years.'back in the 70's

The speed limit is the speed limit. Your not supposed to exceed it even while passing.
You sound like the A-holes that pass me for "going to slow" when I'm doing 57 in a 55.

Your probable correct if you are that old fart putt putting all over the road weaving back and forth, griping the wheel with both hands so tight there turning white because you are scared to death that honda will get away from you, and have traffic backed up for a miles while trying to get to the hover round convention.
Then yes IM that * o that blows by you before you hit someone head on and I have to dodge the junk coming my way. You sound like one of the snow birds that invade us when you have a white out going. BOB
BUT IM SURE YOUR THAT ONE PERFECT LAW BIDDING GOOD SUBJECT THAT NEVER BROKE ANY LAW EVER
thus....expenses occur: paying the police and firemen to work the crash scene, paying the ambulance and helicopter flight to save your **s, insurance pay outs force premiums up, lawyers to defend your stupidity, lawyers to suck family accounts dry to punish you, & road repair.
no, this is is a good thing.
and then, what about we the law abiding citizens? we have to be terrorized by you the **s's that have no regard for order and civil obedience? no. the law should make you push the button that crushes your car at a local junk yard and force you to ride the bus for a year. no wait, our taxes pay for that service.....
WALK.[8][:(!]
key word that everyone is overlooking, premeditated. to speed is a fine. sometimes you get distracted and you exceed it. a fine snaps you back on alert and the law works. but to go 30 over is NOT an accident. its premeditated. you KNOW what youre doing. so, going 30 over isnt what makes you reckless....its KNOWING what youre doing beforehand. its the attitude that convicts you. so lets see what some reasons for going 30 over could be.....fooling around with friends to impress them? to test the car and see if it can go fast with new accessories, racing, road rage, running from the law, late for work.....none of which are lawful reasons. a 2 ton missle flying down the highway guided by an A**. nope. good law. i wish more states would do it.
God help the new america mind set. and as im famous for saying....
NO WONDER THEY BOMBED US.
