What? I can't hear you over my freedom

[Joakim3]

Between Virginia and New Jersey I don't which state is worse

I'd genuinely ride a bicycle across either state before I run the risk of getting some completely horseshit ticket for going "20 over" along with a $1000+ ticket

I had my foot buried in 5th gear in Virginia. I was at VIR though

You do notice people really tend to drive close to the speed limit there. Except tractor trailers on the hilly roads.

I had my foot down hard a day after I installed a muffler delete and a cop pulled me over because he heard me hitting the underpass and ramp. He let me go and told me to make sure I put the car in 6th gear. GGC, I don't usually speed. I'm the guy close to the right lane driving a couple of digits over the speed limit. Car looks and sounds sexier that way

What!? No rape, no fight? What a vacation...

It's almost that bad in Ontario Canada, except instead of sending you to jail they seize your vehicle on the side of the road for 7 days, suspend your license for a week and fine you up to $10,000.

I'm not really sure how you get home, can't rent a car with a suspended license.

NEVER speed in Virginia

More like don't get a reckless driving ticket in Virginia

I've gotten speeding tickets 3 times in VA. 69 in a 55, 80 in a 65 and 81 in a 70 ( )

And contrary to what the writer stated in his article, speeding over 80 mph is NOT automatically reckless driving.

I really hate that state.

[Gunman]

I dislike Virginia's unconstitutional ban of radar detectors.

[continuecrushing]

for some reason that article went back and forth too much for me to read all of it

I will avoid speeding there, however

I'll be driving thru there again from Ohio to Florida in a couple months. Everytime I go thru Virginia, I set the cruise on 5 mph over the limit... and even then I'm watching for patrolmen.

Fortunately, Virginia is not very wide where I have to cross it.

I don't agree with some of what the guy says in the article linked below commenting on the original article (particularly the language and his view of pretty much all authority as "@%$^#", but this section is insightful:

"No person was actually harmed or even alleged to have been threatened with harm. George is probably an above-average driver; GM is pretty careful about to whom it hands out keys to ZL1s. The key point, at any rate, is that the state’s entirely bored revenue collector (read the article here to get the flavor of this routine “bust”) didn’t even imply that George was actually driving recklessly in fact – as opposed to statutorily. He was not taken to jail – at the time of the “bust” – just issued his summons to appear in court later. It stands to reason that if the cop actually considered George’s 93 on a rural stretch of Route 211 (I know this road; it’s a broad four lane, two in each direction, separated by a median strip and very lightly travelled; 55 is preposterous, everyone’s doing 60-70 so George’s 93 – while faster than the proverbial flow – was not breaking the sound barrier) he would have arrested him on the spot and taken him to the clink right then.

Do cops give sexual batterers, drunk drivers, people who point loaded guns at others tickets . . . and (sign here, please) send them on their way?"
