NYS DRIVE Act Would Ban Ferrari's and Other "Assault Vehicles" . .
Just a month after the passage of the New York state Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (SAFE), comes another noble nanny-state proposal from the office of Governor Andrew Cuomo. The New York Directive to Regulate Inessential Vehicle Effectiveness Act (DRIVE) seeks to limit the capabilities of so-called "assault vehicles" which contributed to the deaths of 1,077 people and injury to over 128,000 on New York State roadways in 2011. The city of New York reported another 250 deaths and over 49,000 injuries resulting from vehicular assaults in the same period.

Cuomo stated, "this new law will limit vehicular violence through common sense, and reasonable reforms that will make New York a safer place to live. When society confronts serious issues, it is the function of government to do something, and the NY DRIVE Act will now give New York State the toughest, strongest protections against vehicular violence in the nation."

Provisions in the DRIVE Act would ban multiple makers of vehicles including Lamborghini, Porsche, and Ferrari, as well as many more common models such as the Chevy Corvette and Camaro, Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger and Charger.
"Classic" versions of these cars (those over 20 years old) would have to be reregistered with the state and have their ignition system removed. Cuomo remarked on the proposal, "these are the vehicles the police use. Citizens don't need these vehicles. These vehicles serve no purpose for defensive driving."

If passed, the DRIVE Act would ban the sale of these "assault vehicles" within New York State. Residents would be required to transfer or sell the vehicles out of state or turn them over to the NYS Department of Motors Vehicles (DMV) within one year. After one year, these vehicles would be banned from operation on NYS roadways. Violation through possession would result in charges of a Class D Felony, punishable by no more than 5 years in prison and a $7,500 fine.

Other provisions of the DRIVE Act include,

— Enhanced Driving Record checks to ensure those who have committed a vehicular crime in the past no longer have access to their weapon of choice.

— Bans on spoilers, low profile tires, ground effects kits, and the color red. In addition to many other speed enhancements.

— Bans on tinted windows for concealed occupant carry.

— Passenger limits of four persons per vehicle. Current vehicle capacity is exempted under the regulations as long as no more than four persons are loaded into the vehicle.

— Bans on passenger vehicles with a curb weight exceeding 4,000 lbs or more than 200 horsepower.

— Bans on commercial pickup trucks with greater than a half-ton bed capacity or greater than 400 foot-pounds of torque.

— Along with mandatory reporting of "large quantity" fuel purchases that could indicate use for illegal activity.

State Assemblyman Sheldon Silver (D) called Cuomo "the Mary Poppins of our time." He went on to say, "under normal circumstances Governor Cuomo would prescribe a spoon full of sugar to make the medicine go down. However in this instance he can not with consideration of the NYS SODA Act on the table." The SODA Act (State Order for Dietary Acceptability) requested by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg would ban high capacity sugary drinks. Further provisions would seek to prevent the sale of so called "assault milkshakes" which wage daily war on the lactose intolerant.

Pretty funny and a great "Picture" of culture in our time in NYC! It will not be long before this is real instead of just a joke now!  What a sad state of affairs!

[bull]

Jeez, I hope Doomburg doesn't see this. He'd photocopy it and sign it right now.

[Mopar Nut]

But, doesn't he want to legalize pot.

[NHCharger]

Is this a Joke??
If you banned vehicles based on the above criteria over half of all the vehicles on the road would be considered illegal.

[A6USMC]

Yes, New York State is a joke,  I live here and I sadly know. We need to do what they did in Colorado. Lets get our act together people,,,,,,This is from an email I got,,,,, CO State Senate President John Morse is being recalled by voters.

That's right. The man who helped push through bad gun laws this spring is being recalled by more constituents than actually even voted in his election!

An election to replace him should take place in September or October, and while the legal battle over this is yet to play out, one thing is certain:

Patriots in Colorado have had enough. They are no longer laying down for dangerous gun laws and the foolish lawmakers who craft them!!!!!!!!!!

A quick check of Google shows this is fake. . . .  However, you have to believe something like this will be coming to New York or California before to long.

I Googled the topic and I couldn't see that it was a hoax.   Looks to be all to real to me.  Do you have any links that prove otherwise?

[Paul G]

I am waiting for NY and Cali to ban people. They will then trully have the safest, cleanest and most environmental friendly states in the union. Oh wait, bears poop in the woods, may still have to do something about that.

[BigBlackDodge]

C'mon people..................fake.

Won't be long, and then the white house will want all cars over 20 years old removed off the road. Obama is trying real hard for that.

That New York thing has to be fake.  

I don't care how "Green" some politicians are, they do not pass laws that annoy the super-rich.

I'd love to see a bunch of elected officials get ousted for voting against the public's wishes on gun control.

Yea, it always seams to come down to "follow the money" if you want to know what  real story is.

[Old Moparz]

It's fake. I read it several years ago when it circulated & people all had the same reaction back then freaking out & using it as an excuse to bash states & politics.


The more thing change the more they stay the same.

They just passed the 15% ethanol blend in all gas, wouldn't this be a way of "nudging" those cars off the street.  Ethanol ( from everything I have read /heard) is not good at all for older cars and trucks.

Yes, I found roughly 25 links where it said this was satire.  This was supposed to mock New Yorks BS gun policy. This went through every car and gun forum months ago, it was fake then, it is fake now.  Try it again and read the all the other car forums, it's fake.

There is one, just one little unheard of website with this posted.  If for a second anyone thought this may be real you would hear FOX News, Rush, Beck and Hannity screaming about this.  

[flyinlow]

So ...is the post fake ,or is  New York a fake state?

New York is fake.

Who'd ever believe you can buy it for $24 worth of blankets & candy from a bunch of Indians?

Hearing those guys screaming about a looming threat is not evidence that the threat is real.
