Penalties for Unchained Trucks * USA - Colorado bill would boost
Colorado,USA -Land Line Magazine (Grain Valley,MO,USA) -Feb 8, 2007: -- A bill in the Colorado House would boost the fines for truck drivers who fail to chain up when required. Points also would be added to violators’ licenses... Existing Colorado law fines truckers $100, plus $13 in surcharges, for failure to put on snow chains, the bill would increase the base fine of $100 to $500... They say the need to address the issue is highlighted because portions of Interstate 70 closed 15 times this winter due to chainless trucks... Opponents say failure to comply with the rule can be attributed to a lack of adequate space on roadways for drivers to install chains – not to mention the safety concerns. Too few designated chain-up sites along routes also was cited as a problem for truckers...
