Ohio wages war on Hot Rods!
All,
I received the latest copy of Mopar Collector’s Guide today and read some very disturbing news for Ohio auto enthusiasts. Back in December a bill, HB 191 (aka the “Monica Durban Law”), passed the House by a landslide and will soon be passed by the Senate if our voices are not heard. I’m not talking about an annoying emissions law or crazy rule about historical tags. The bill will instruct police officers to SEIZE your vehicle and take away your license for a year if they see rapid acceleration, fast driving, burning tires, or street racing. They won’t impound it. They will TAKE it and sell it at a state auction! Not only that, but it loosely defines the term “street racing” to include just about anything. Revving your engine at a stop light can be considered taunting or promoting a street race. Again, it is up to the police officer’s discretion. If you have a car that could be seen as “souped up”, you’ll be targeted. If you are just watching someone displaying any form of “street racing”, you are equally guilty because you are promoting illegal activity!
