I certainly don't want to dissuade your decision to *not* visit the most
beautiful state in America. But is it too much to ask of your small
brain of ever diminishing capacity to note that under the new Virginia
law the civil fees are charged only to Virginia residents and not
out-of-staters? As for the 20MPH over posted limit, that has always been
one of many criteria for reckless driving, a Class I misdemeanor
punishable by up to $2500 fine and/or one year in jail. It is actually
20MPH over posted speed except for 35MPH zones where it is 25MPH over,
and 80MPH for any posted speed limit.
Once upon a time Virginia was beautiful, then it grew people :-(
