Comments
fail. Too many Virginians would not be able to reach their jobs, commitments, and families if this bill were to pass. Additionally it sets a bad precedent for roads to be cars-only. Last but not least, there are already mechanisms in place to make certain dangerous stretches of road untravelable by mopeds, including setting minimum speed limits.
