After posting and reading this, I felt I should clarify-the "chains that bind" is the restricted license, not the wife! Clear as mud, eh?

[ccr]

... She is a really special woman, met her ... 2003...   ...left my friends & went to the place I felt compelled to go to. closser I got, the stronger the feeling got. ... She felt compelled to go out that night, although she rarely ever goes out. My angel!

You know that life is often a bunch of open doors, and we only have to have enough trust and faith to walk through them.

You both had doors held wide open for you that night, and look where you are today. It is wonderful to hear in this day and age when a couple meet - love at first sight and go for it.  Congratulations.  Still sorry about your law problems.  But, a year can go by fast enough.

I can really only blame myself for the situation, and I have a newfound insight into why the laws are so strict. Upon going before the magistrate, he said something to me that really struck a chord-I realized that if I stop and have 3-4 beers/drinks and am driving, say something happens-someone runs out in to traffic and I hit them. I will spend the rest of my life thinking it may not have happened if I hadn't been drinking. Lesson learned, so it is an expensive class but I came out of it with something. And you're so right, it is only a year! I can still ride to and from work and to AA meetings and class! My wife has been by my side through the whole thing, telling me how proud of me she is for everything...she's the best!

VA HOUSE VOTED YESTERDAY 98 -2 in favor of bill to repeal this unjust law!!!!!!!

[RedDevil]

It's aboot time politicians actually did something right for once!!!  That was the most rediculous piece of legislation I've every had the displeasure to read.

Well it looks like the law will be repealed (however) they stripped returning the fees collected and leave it to the Democrats (Fairfax VA) that wants to add additional 5 cents to the GAS TAX over the next five years, proving once again that NO DEMOCRAT can not live without  raising someone's TAXES.

Kaine Signs Legislation Repealing Abusive Driver Fees

March 27, 2008

(AP) The daunting fees on abusive Virginia drivers is officially a thing of the past. Governor Tim Kaine signed legislation repealing the law Thursday.

The repeal, passed as emergency legislation by the General Assembly earlier this month, took effect immediately upon the governor's signature.

Legislators in both parties clamored to end the fees that usually top $1,000 after Virginia residents last summer angrily protested an exemption from the fees for nonresidents.

Kaine called for its repeal in January after reports that the fees came nowhere close to generating their expected $65 million a year for highway maintenance and highway deaths continued to mount.

Well after a very agressive monitoring of the I95 corridor, I was chosen to contibute $200 for going 73 in a 60.  Sucks, big time.  Thank goodness this was repealed.
