Letter: Let’s crack down on unpaid traffic fines

Sunday, Nov. 13, 2005 | 10:21 a.m.

Collection of traffic tickets might be enhanced with one or both of the following -- fines doubled if they are not paid in 10 days and then redoubled after 30 days; driver's licenses and registrations cannot be renewed until fines are paid. This has worked in many other states and cities.

Furthermore, far too many people live and work in Nevada and refuse to register their vehicles here because of cost -- and we let them get away with it. Arizona once cracked down and warned those who didn't register that they would be fined $500 and their vehicles impounded. In a matter of days, hundreds of vehicles suddenly got registered.
