Attention Virginia residents: Sucks to be you Reply #15 – June 27, 2007, 05:30:37 PM Quote from: TurboCoupe50;157192When it's moving it's going 70-75 easy... I've sprinted to highly illegal speeds in the Lightning a couple times, just to get in line for the next exit... Guess I'll have to stop that...:hick: BTW I live less than two miles from the I-64 & I-464 interchange, so I'm on it regularly...BTW #2.. AFAIK, unless it's changing, reckless driving is 20 MPH over the posted limit, not 15...Yup, better unhook the belt on the L and get in line early. Like when you leave the tunnel (whichever one is closest to your "entry point") :) It is 20 over, or used to be, but did you know they can write reckless driving for not using a turn signal? http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/laws.html Quote Selected

Attention Virginia residents: Sucks to be you Reply #17 – June 27, 2007, 08:17:42 PM I just got back from Newport News, VA at 3 AM this morning after visiting my family down there and now my wife wants to move down there. It is very easy to go over the speed limit just keeping with the flow of traffic. I saw police going 85+ past while we were doing 75. We didn't have any traffic problems on 64 the whole week we were down there though. Had a good time down there, we took my son down to Grave Diggers Dungeon in NC and on the way i saw a four eye bird for sale. Saw a couple other foxes too while i was down there. Quote Selected
Attention Virginia residents: Sucks to be you Reply #18 – June 28, 2007, 09:23:51 AM you dont get it,, there are many places in Va (capital beltway , richmond 295, 64 east out of richmond, charlottsville, ect) where the speed limit for no real apparent reason drops to 50. Sometimes you can see the limit drop to 40 on I 460. its real easy to get the typical 74mph in a 55 zone, where as just a couple tenths of a mile back the speed limit was 65. I travel a lot in this state and i pay attention. Be watchful of the "lack" of the "reduce speed ahead" signs that usually give warning. besides, its better if i drive around 70 for gas mileage reasons. It feels better on the car and its more effiicient on gas in my case.As more and more highways get subcontraced out or sold to companies that take care of them, or companies from other countries, we will see these types of laws other countries find as common.I just have one curiosity,,,,, just one question,,,,, Evidently there was no money in place to mow the grass and take care of pot holes ect from all the past years.,,, CORRECT? This is the purpose for the bill so tell me o'great ones,,,,,,,,Where did the money come from before this bill? I always thought the road dept looked pretty busy all these years imho.(can you say,,,,,, the real story is yet to come as no one in virginia wants to say the DOT isnt funding road maint anymore). I"m curious of the current employee base in va and how that has been sub'd out to hid all this that suddenlly becomes law. This bill is simple pork barrel politicsAnother questionWhat is going to happen to the old tax structure that funded road upkeep? are they going to delete that tax and substitute in this one? I think not,, Va will double tax you at every cross road you can imagine.Ohio is just about as bad if not worse Quote Selected

Attention Virginia residents: Sucks to be you Reply #21 – June 28, 2007, 09:19:04 PM Not sure if it's correct, but I heard this on the news tonight... Most of the fines are NOT applicable unless you have eight negative points(I have +5, max you can acculimate).. Exceptions will be drunk driving and driving without a license(which you have to have more than 8 to loose it)...Still there's such a stink going on, I suspect some changes... If nothing else certain legislators... Quote Selected
