Can we pass a law that makes people get tested for the ability to raise children before they start breeding too? Please!!!!!!

Yes. This bill is completely reasonable.

Yes fine them.there stupidity cost tax dollars

Yes. As an Insurance broker i see the results of ignorant driving too much. Damage to their vehicles, possibily injury to their passangers, and the emergency crew members safety is at stake. It is not an occasional thing that happens. We need to respect mother nature and start thinking coherently when we drive.

At first I thought yes, but we don't need a law for everything, if they take such a risk they might suffer the consequence of death, but no I do not think a fine is in order, I can tell you if I were in a flood and given such a fine I would give the fine imposing authority the longest and best run for their money they ever would find themselves involved with; Hopefully costing them more money then the fine itself was worth to them. I wish there were a law that would prevent an insurance claim being filed in a such a case, but far be it from government to tell me I can't drive my car into a flood and injure myself!

We do need a law for this because others are endangered and taxpayer money is spent. It's not a "victimless" issue. The government, which is supported by our tax dollars, is set up by us to handle the larger framework that society operates under and is necessary. We are talking here about heeding signs, not getting caught in a flash flood.

We just LOVE passing laws, huh? Revenue generation from a nanny state. An officer has at least a dozen current violations on the books he could use to fine a person ignoring a posted road sign. But.... let's make another one.

Legislators seems to have nothing better to do, I guess? Might as well pass a law making it illegal to comb your hair while driving. How about a law to make it illegal to drive your car into a wall?

As a former member of a local Fire Company Diving Unit, who knows first hand the danger these folks put people who rescued them in, this makes sense. We put our lives on the line so these fools with no common sense can go about their merry way with no feeling of the danger that was involved in their rescue, the money involved, the time & the effort of the volunteers that put forth the effort so they can live to do something stupid again. For those of who who think this is harsh thinking, you evidently never did this kind of service to your community.

I voted yes on the fine. However I think the licence points are a bit much.

Just remember, you can't cure stupid. Fining someone will make no difference. Who decides the cost of the rescue?

To JDBroomall. Nothing said about driving around barricades. When commonn sense does not prevail & you see a road flooded out & a car or 2 not making it, but the dumb & dumber insists on trying it DUH!! You have, evidently,never been it a rescue situation. You cannot teach common sense, so let the losers who do this pay.

Don't call this cop! NORRISTOWN, Pa. - A retired police officer from Montgomery County is in big trouble, accused of drug trafficking.http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/18849398/retired-cop-accused-of-drug-trafficking?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I don't think its too much at all. These people put the lives of emergency responders at risk to rescue them for being stupid/lazy. I think maybe we need to suspend their license for 6 months instead of fines. I also hope that their insurance company refuses to pay for their vehicle damage!

I think the bigger issue is that these people are taking resources away from other real emergencies. If you've read any local fire company website or listened to their reports during township meetings, you'll know that between power lines coming down and lightning striking houses these folks are always super busy during these flooding rain storms. Barricades are there for a reason, something dangerous has already been identified so they closed the road until it can be corrected.

For someone to then go around the barricade and purposely put themselves in harms way is ridiculous, wasting fire, ems & police resources for something that was totally avoidable. That's the problem, we're not talking about flash flooding and someone getting randomly stuck in water, we're talking about someone who disregards the safety devices put in place to keep them out of danger.

Bring on the fines!

If you fine people for acting stupid and irresponsible the government would have all the money.
