NYS DRIVE Act Would Ban Ferraris and Other "Assault Vehicles"

http://www.policymic.com/articles/28...sault-vehicles

Quote:

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 people and injury to over 128,000 on New York State roadways in 2011. The city of New York reported another 250 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.

what a load of horse shit.

A HUGE Double scoop :thumbsup

is there a second source to this?

It's satirical, although it doesnt seem like too much of a stretch considering their stupid soft drink laws.

I'm reading this and all I can think of is parody. It reads just like a parody.

WTF? They are gonna ban sports cars? LOL.

I bet you if they pulled stats they would discover the bulk of their accidents isn't sports cars, it's SUVs.

See what happens when government is allowed to get a foot in the door?

you laugh but this is the gospel when trying to import a car into most countries. typically no R/M/S/GT/etc motorport models allowed. here in DR you cannot import any car with more than 6 cylinders, must be purchased new

bloomberg probably has a ferrari. he wont let that happen lol.

I thought California was nuts. If this is true they win the prize.

yup, this is a serious article. he's not being satirical. no way. serious as hell.

"Bans on spoilers, low profile tires, ground effects kits, and the color red. In addition to many other speed enhancements. "

Most of that would not bother me, at all

You Believe This?

If you do, I have a beautiful bridge over the East River I can sell you.
policymic.com appears to be the source and several other small time media sources parroted the article. There is nothing on Governor Andrew Cuomo or the NY Legislature official websites. No major news media has reported this.
Snopes has nothing yet, but I'll bet next week you'll all find out you been pranked.

I took a peak at the 'official stats' and its not even close to what Cuomo claims it is. They simply labeled fast cars 'assault cars' and narrowed the stats down so it would seem stupid not to pass a law.

This bill was removed from Cuomo's site (Yes, to all the people saying its fake, it WAS actually on Cuomo's website which is where this website got it from). But it will most likely be back up, with a changed name.
