Pennsylvania overhauls state motor vehicle code with reforms
A federal grant funded a complete overhaul of Pennsylvania's motor vehicle code. The plan tightens speeding enforcement, raises fines, reduces the maximum points for a single violation from six to five, and allows three points to be erased each year of violation free driving. The proposal, already before House and Senate committees, aims to be debated next year and could see significant changes before enactment. State Police would be empowered to use approved speed-trapping devices.
