From an e-lail.
Uninsured Cars Off The Road
Recently, the City of Dallas , Texas , passed an ordinance stating that if
a driver is pulled over by law enforcement and is not able to provide
proof of insurance, the car is towed.
To retrieve the car after being impounded, they must show proof of
insurance to have the car released. This has made it easy for the City of
Dallas to remove uninsured cars.
Shortly after the "No Insurance" ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound
lots began to fill up and were full after only nine days. 80 + % of the
impounded cars were driven by illegals.
Not only must they provide proof of insurance to have their car released,
they have to pay for
the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and $20 for every
day their car is kept in the lot..
Accident rates have gone down 47%and... Dallas ' solution gets uninsured
drivers off the road WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality.
Wonder how the ACLU or the Justice Department will get around this one.
Just brings tears to my eyes.
GO Dallas !
