They stated it is in response to all the recent deaths that occurred along 95 and the Beltway

Damn, thats BS. $1000 fine for 20 over because 2 points and $150 fee isn't enough. Thats like the average speed of a beltway driver.
$300 fine for playing an R rated movie in a car, or stopping in front of your mailbox to get the mail? Wow, remind me never to drive in that state again.
With crap laws like this out there to raise funds, its becoming less and less fun to drive anywhere. Thank God my commute to work consists of 20 minutes on small backroads and only 3 minutes on any sort of highway.
Yea, no yearly inspections or auto property taxes in MD. 
I also heard on the news the crackdowns will be on I-95, I-81 and I-77. I'll have my fun on backroads, thank you very much.

when you buy it...
every 2 years for emmissions... which is soooo easy to pass with obd2
One of the things that makes me lol every time I hear it is when people refer to the Commonwealth of VA as being the Communist wealth of VA....

Well then. Thats good to hear. Sorry for the people that live in VA. I bought my car from a guy in VA and it took me forever to reach all the way down to the bottom of the windshield and scrape off the damn registration sticker.
Of course now, the DoD made me put a stupid base sticker on my windshield... Damn auto regulations.
What a crock of shit. Good thing the All Members isn't THIS SATURDAY!!
I actually got let off yesterday for a 60 in a 50 on the parkway yesterday - he just pulled up next to me and waved his hand to slow down - very nice of him, must've liked the car.
Thanks for the info though, I'll keep it extra slow this weekend.

I just finished reading that and I'm pretty pissed. This state is absolutley pathetic. Can't wait to get down South next summer permanently. Better laws and cheaper living!
Mike I'm eager to hear your thoughts though - with so many little BS things they can get you for one can only assume they're going to try to get to a whole new level of quotas?
Here's the deal. Since I am a COP in VA.
If you don't break the traffic laws, you don't have to pay the fines. There's a couple reasons why they are doing this.
#1 is from all the deaths
#2 is because they need to pay for the roads to be fixed.
These fines are only for wreckless driving tickets. I know we all speed...I speed. But, I'm sure none of you have worked a wreck, where a person was killed due to speeding or DWI....IT SUCKS
We will still not have a quota on the county level. The state still does, and always will. The only thing I will say is that I wish the fine would have stayed the same on the DWI, but I wish it was more manditory jail.

Virginia's been tough on speeding for awhile now.......
Do points earned in Virginia transfer to your Maryland record???

The Tri-State area is involved in most of the countries interstate compact. Basically, that means that if you get a ticket say in VA, and you live in MD...if you don't pay that VA ticket. Not only will you be suspended in VA but you will also be suspended in MD. It takes time but it will happen. Its called the Reciprocal agreement.
I've heard some people say that they didn't recieve points from a ticket in Va when they live in MD. But, from what I've heard in the courts they do. Maybe someone from MD that has recieved a ticket in VA can chime in.

hey guys also dont forget the part about DUI fines. it is an automatic 2250 to the dmv on top of all other court fines. not cool.. not saying that anyone on here drinks and drives but be safe. also, these fines only apply to those people who have va license. out of state license can not be fined a civil fee. just thought i would let you know.
I got a speeding several years ago for doing 90 in a 65 and the officer said the ticket is "x" and 2 points. He knocked the speed down for me since I was very cooperative and polite. I paid the fine and mine points did transfer from VA to MD.
