I’m curious to see who would lose their vehicle based on the proposed NYS DRIVE Act. I can’t post in Politsuck as my Internet Filter slates that sight as Pornography…Onyx/tpgsr…? For those that don’t know what the safe act is: > Just a month after the passage of the New York state Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (SAFE), comes another noble nanny-state proposal from the office of Governor Andrew Cuomo. The New York Directive to Regulate Inessential Vehicle Effectiveness Act (DRIVE) seeks to limit the capabilities of so-called “assault vehicles” which contributed to the deaths of [1,077](http://www.dmv.ny.gov/Statistics/2011NYSCrashSummary.pdf) people and injury to over 128,000 on New York State roadways in 2011. The city of New York reported another [250](http://www.dmv.ny.gov/Statistics/2011NYCCrashSummary.pdf) deaths and over 49,000 injuries resulting from vehicular assaults in the same period. > > Cuomo stated, “this new law will limit vehicular violence through common sense, and reasonable reforms that will make New York a safer place to live. When society confronts serious issues, it is the function of government to do something, and the NY DRIVE Act will now give New York State the toughest, strongest protections against vehicular violence in the nation.” > > Provisions in the DRIVE Act would ban multiple makers of vehicles including Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ferrari, as well as many more common models such as the Chevy Corvette and Camaro, Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger and Charger. > “Classic” versions of these cars (those over 20 years old) would have to be reregistered with the state and have their ignition system removed. Cuomo remarked on the proposal, “these are the vehicles the police use. Citizens don’t need these vehicles. These vehicles serve no purpose for defensive driving.” > > If passed, the DRIVE Act would ban the sale of these “assault vehicles” within New York State. Residents would be required to transfer or sell the vehicles out of state or turn them over to the NYS Department of Motors Vehicles (DMV) within one year. After one year, these vehicles would be banned from operation on NYS roadways. Violation through possession would result in charges of a Class D Felony, punishable by no more than 5 years in prison and a $7,500 fine. > > Other provisions of the DRIVE Act include, > > — Enhanced Driving Record checks to ensure those who have committed a vehicular crime in the past no longer have access to their weapon of choice. > > — Bans on spoilers, low profile tires, ground effects kits, and the color red. In addition to many other speed enhancements. > > — Bans on tinted windows for concealed occupant carry. > > — Passenger limits of four persons per vehicle. Current vehicle capacity is exempted under the regulations as long as no more than four persons are loaded into the vehicle. > > — Bans on passenger vehicles with a curb weight exceeding 4,000 lbs or more than 200 horsepower. > > — Bans on commercial pickup trucks with greater than a half-ton bed capacity or greater than 400 foot-pounds of torque. > > — Along with mandatory reporting of “large quantity” fuel purchases that could indicate use for illegal activity. > > State Assemblyman Sheldon Silver (D) called Cuomo “the Mary Poppins of our time.” He went on to say, “under normal circumstances Governor Cuomo would prescribe a spoon full of sugar to make the medicine go down. However in this instance he can not with consideration of the NYS SODA Act on the table.” The SODA Act (State Order for Dietary Acceptability) requested by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg would ban [high capacity](http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/feb/24/report-ny-mayor-bloomberg-bans-2-liter-sodas-pizza/) sugary drinks. Further provisions would seek to prevent the sale of so called “assault milkshakes” which wage daily war on the lactose intolerant.

> [@Digital\_jedi](#): > > How is saying that the article is a satire “political debate”? I’m not trying to be rude, but to me that’s not what a debate is… I know your not being rude…I’m not trying to be either. I meant that this thread should not turn into a debate. The article is satire. I find that it is not impossible for something similar to happen. With that taken into consideration I would literally lose all my means of personal transportation. ---
