    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    or unless you want to drive your FMV to work occasionally, or to the store, or anywhere else that a cop could ticket you for as "not recreational" at his discretion.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    We spoke at the Senate sub-committee today and They amended the bill to say that if you choose to get a state inspection and regular plates that you would have unrestricted use. That’s a GREAT thing. However, we talked to the State Trooper in charge of the state inspection program and they will...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    This bill mandates that all FMVs wear the proposed plate. If you have “the right plates” for daily use you have until 1/1/19 to reregister or your current registration is invalidated. All I really want is for them to make standard passenger plates an option if I choose to pass state...

    Problem is we just found out about this and the Senate is voting on this legislation today. Were on the way way down to see if we can stop it.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    The bill has been changed multiple times, and the most current version that crossed over to the Senate is really bad news. We are meeting at the Equestrian Statue at the NW corner of the capitol building (in front of the GA building) at around 1:30 or so to go and speak at the transportation...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I was discussing that very thing with someone else earlier. Later in the bill it talks about state inspections. I think that is sufficient, as that is what other vehicles must do to prove road worthiness.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Exactly. I meant there was no indication that they were coming after titles prior to this horrible bill. Point being, this is not a benefit to HMMWV owners.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    We need to gather all of the examples like this that make it a bad bill and be prepared to drive those points home next week.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    There has been NO indication that VA is targeting HMMWVs that have received plates/titles for revocation, so I'm not sure how that's relevant. I don't know anyone in VA that hasn't been able to successfully title/tag a HMMWV. This law, in my opinion, will discourage people from buying HMMWVs...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    This is NOT a nod to HMMWV owners. I have a HMMWV that I can drive anywhere, anytime, for any reason today. If this passes un-amended, I could be charged with a misdemeanor for driving my truck to the store for groceries and lose the registration on my truck for 5 years. NOT a good deal for...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    We have full registration here today. I have a VA titled, tagged, inspected M998 I can drive anywhere, any time for any reason. We are facing losing that if this passes.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I have no way to know how it was sold to the company that titled it, but I'm sure an EUC was attached. I just think that this bill in particular is a wolf in sheeps clothing. It fooled SEMASAN and they are trying to get FMV folks to support it. All it does is limit my ability to use a truck...

    Sadly, I can. :( And then they'll eat Tide pods and hopefully go away.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I'm not sure what you mean. I bought an M998 that was titled in UT. All I did was transfer it in state like any other vehicle. I went and got the truck state inspected and then went to the DMV and got VA title and registration for it. There was no "getting around the rules".

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I don't support this bill AT ALL. If you read it carefully, it limits for what purposes you may drive a FMV on public roads. Driving your HMMWV to work will be a class 4 misdemeanor if this passes. We will probably be going down to Richmond to fight this. If there were any provision in here...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I can't fathom why SEMA is supporting this. They are going to retroactively apply this to all FMV's titled in the state prior to 1/1/18. It makes it a class 4 misdemeanor to drive your HMMWV to work. They are WAY off on this one. This bill needs to be reworded or dropped.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    If you're in VA - Bad legislation coming our way There is a house bill that hits the senate for a vote next week that will effectively make it illegal to drive a HMMWV on road in VA unless in or to a parade, off road event, in transit for maintenance or sale, or "pleasure driving" within 250...
