Re: Driver Responsibility Assessment

More | Report Post

This law is completely corrupt, and there needs to be a class action
law suit filed against the State of New York. Email me at
nolan318@gmail.com if anyone else is interested in getting that going.
This is total BS! How on EARTH can it be legal to demand more money
(and a lot of it I might add) out of people who have ALREADY answered
a ticket YEARS AGO and paid a fine YEARS AGO. This MUST be taken to
court, and it will only happen if we the people get together and make
that happen. I for one plan on fighting this and I encourage any and
all of you to join me.
