IMPORTANT WARNING FROM SANDY RUN

Posted by Matt Fanny on Mar 13 2010 at 11:30AM PST

Please pass this on to your parents, rowers and coaches…………
NO MORE SPEEDING WARNINGS!

Since the beginning of the season we have been trying to educate everyone coming to and from Sandy Run to follow the speed limit and to respect the neighborhood speed limit.

Do not be surprised if you are missing rowers this week at practice!

EXCESSIVE SPEED WARNING

The safety of the neighborhood and of the Sandy Run Regional Park users is a serious issue with the vehicular traffic along Van Thompson Road and inside the park. Fairfax County Police will be running radar and issuing traffic citations throughout the season as you come to and from the park.

Since the Park Authority has serious concerns, the following consequences will occur for speeding violations.

· First Violation: Rowers and coaches in a vehicle detected exceeding the posted speed limit will be recorded and will miss that day of practice.

· Second Violation: Rowers and coaches in a vehicle detected exceeding the posted speed limit will be recorded and will miss a week of practice and that week’s regatta.

  • Third Violation: Rowers and coaches in a vehicle detected exceeding the posted speed limit will be recorded and will not be permitted to row at the Sandy Run Regional Park Rowing facility for the rest of the respective regatta season or camp.

I don’t know who promoted this ruling, and if it would withstand a legal challenge.
I strongly object to this ruling. Drivers should be held responsible for their actions, passengers should not suffer any consequences.
This is equivalent to holding a passenger responsible for an accident committed by a distracted driver.
This does not underscore the seriousness of the offense, and the need for drivers to obey the laws, but the punishment should reflect this.
I think it is unethical to blame anyone aside from the driver.
