Re: Driver Surcharge-Texas Transportation Code Ch.708

More | Report Post

People that say things like that don't understand the law completely. I
am 23 years old. When I was 17 I moved out and was supporing myself on
$750 a month....as a college student. I got into a wreck when I was 19
without insurance (because I couldn't afford it) and the state imposed
two tickets on me which resulted in 7 different surcharges (one for 3
years, the other for 4). The wreck was the other lady's fault....I had
only had ONE other ticket before in my life....none of which were for
wreckless driving, DUI or anything of the sort. I am STILL paying off
the fees...I realized today that the grand total (not including the
actual ticket fees which cost over $500) is costing me $1,516!!!!! I
have had insurance for the last 3 years straight....but of course that
is not taken into consideration. *PEOPLE REMEMBER* not everyone is a
criminal and therefore deserve this kind of punishment. A lot of us are
merely poor....and because of ridiculous laws like this....will STAY
POOR.
