adopt motor
vehicle laws
By SHARON KILPATRICK
Rappahannock News Staff Writer
Should Rappahannock County adopt local ordinances which parallel state motor-vehicle laws?
If the county does, when sheriffs deputies issue tickets or make arrests for violations of those laws, the fines collected would go into the -county treasury rather than into the state general fund. Since July, those fines amounted to $6,015, County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors at their meeting Dec. 4.
To make the system work, it will be necessary for the county to amend the laws each year to keep up with changes in state laws, Mr. McCarthy explained, but he indicated that he felt this would not be hard for the county to do.
Mr. McCarthy suggested that the county could also include some private streets in subdivisions for enforcement of motor-vehicle laws if the residents of the subdivisions want that. The Sheriffs Office and the Commonwealth Attorney’s office have had complaints about speeding three- and four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles on private roads in Rappahannock Lakes and in Skyverge Estates.
