You do realize this article you posted is from 2007! So, it's already in affect.
|
Yeah, big stink about this several years ago. I've gotten two speeding tickets since then and the most expensive one was $180.
|
Virginia is the most uptight state out of the whole united states. I'm flabbergasted at how corrupt people can be, slipping shit like this into a larger bill and making a revenue off of drivers. :rant:

Dudes.
This isn't in effect anymore, hasn't been for quite a while. I believe it was declared unconstitutional or something or other because it was only imposed on drivers of VA and didn't apply to out of state drivers. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_R...%28Virginia%29 |
I got one of those tickets. $1500!. The worst part, I wasn't even in my 8. I had the wife's suv and was 20 miles over a 40 speed limit. Apparently, I had driven into one of those classic speed traps where the speed limit dropped 15. However, I went to court and the country judge was cool. He said, "you ain't from around here are you boy?" I said "no sir, I'm from Maryland and was just going home from the beach and decided to take the scenic route." He then said, "you aren't coming back, either?" " No sir". He knocked it down to $120 and sent me on my way.
Since then, I avoid that state where possible. I spend my vacation money elsewhere. |

Yes these are only for VA residents or VA licence holders?? one or the other.
I got that link from my Boss who got it through some fairfax county alert thing.... maybe their system went crazy? |
Frosty is right, this was found unconstitutional and it only lasted a short time.
Luckily someone in this Communist Commonwealth of Virginia had a brain stem and got this dismissed. |
