In July, Virginia began charging most speeders an additional $1,050 fine on top of its usual $300, with drunken drivers there now facing an additional fine of up to $2,250. Other heavy hitting states include Georgia, Illinois and North Carolina, where maximum fines can hit $1,000, as well as New York, Texas and New Jersey.
Obviously, drivers and driver groups are upset at having to pay out more than their share to fund infrastructure improvements -- the root of the Virginia fine increases -- while some groups believe the fine increase acts as a deterrent against speeding or reckless drivers.

Defenders of the status quo are always stronger than reformers seeking change,
UNTIL the status quo self-destructs from its own corruption, and the reformers are free to build on its ashes.
