New Laws Effective July 1, 2011
Several new laws took effect July 1, 2011 in the Commonwealth.
•Teens who drink alcohol and drive face harsher penalties including loss of their driver's license for a year and either a $500 minimum fine or 50 hours of community service. The previous punishment was loss of license for six months and a fine of no more than $500.
•Motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles may treat a red light as a stop sign if their bike fails to trigger the traffic light and they are stopped for two complete cycles of the traffic light or for two minutes, whichever is shorter, and they yield the right of way to any approaching vehicle from either direction.
•Violators of school bus traffic laws may be recorded by video cameras mounted inside school buses since a new law allows the devices. The cameras may record license plates, and the date and time of any violations. Fines for these violations are payable to the local school division
•Emergency vehicles, such as ambulances or police cruisers, must flash their emergency lights or sound a siren before proceeding through a red traffic signal or stop sign. Or, the driver of an emergency vehicle must come to a complete stop before proceeding through a red light.
