Virginia Remedial Fees were a set of taxes enacted by the Virginia General Assembly that collected up to $3,000 for minor moving violations such as failing to signal a turn and speeding 10 mph over the limit on a 70 mph road.
Some legislators across the Commonwealth, aware of the intense opposition, began reversing their positions and opposing the taxes.
