Yet more on civil remedial fees

As noted in a post yesterday, the daily papers across the commonwealth are focusing on the new "civil remedial fees," which provide hefty fines for bad drivers.

Here's an update from today's editions: Both The Daily Press and the Bristol Herald Courier have stories on the topic. And The Free Lance Star has an editorial.

The Roanoke Times didn't have a remedial-fees story today. Instead, the paper had a piece on teenagers in the Star City and their reaction to another new statute that prohibits teen drivers from talking on a cell phone while driving. There's a fine of up to $250 for the first offense; the driver can lose his/her license for six months upon a second conviction.
