The Tennessee General Assembly has come out swinging at uninsured drivers after one of them killed an insured Memphis driver last summer, News 5 reports. Rep. William Lamberth, R-Cottontown, and Sen. Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro, introduced companion bills that would triple the misdemeanor fine ($100 to $300) on drivers who violate the state's financial responsibility law (proof of insurance). If passed, the legislation would also require those drivers to pay reinstatement fees on top of the fines once they secure insurance.
