RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota drivers who repeatedly get
caught speeding might soon face the loss of their drivers'
licenses.
Republican Rep. Steve Hickey of Sioux Falls says he has prepared
a bill to add speeding tickets to the system that gives drivers
points on their records for moving violations. Too many points
result in a suspended license.
The current point system covers reckless driving, running a stop
sign or stop light and just about every other moving violation. But
it does not cover speeding.
Hickey says that it makes no sense to exclude speeding tickets from
the point system. He says the current system means drivers can lose
their licenses for running a stop sign, but not for repeatedly driving
too fast.
