[QUOTE="alex3610, post: 13971262, member: 114652"] Been in VA for almost 6 years now. Coming from NJ, some stuff is really different. I have been with a friend and gotten stopped for going 106 in a 55 in NJ, and all he got was a speeding ticket (albeit a large one). In VA, me thinks you would get to spend the night in jail. As some others have pointed out, 20+ over the limit or anything over 80 (although I thought I heard that was going to be changing with advent of 70mph limits on some highways) can get you reckless driving. That in itself is bad, but people need to know that in VA reckless is a misdemeanor criminal charge, so if you do get one, do NOT simply pay the fine and go on about your business because you will now have a criminal record. From what I have seen, most cops here are pretty decent and you have to give them a reason to make them drop reckless on you. Likewise when you go to court, if you have a reasonable record, most people seem to get the reckless charge reduced. The exhaust law seems pretty "nazi" like, but I've never heard of anyone getting written for it. Considering that about half the vehicles on the road here are lifted pickups with loud exhaust, I would say there is no reason to worry. Inspection here bothers me a bit. When I still lived in NJ, the birthplace of government bureaucracy and red tape, I think they gave a new car a 4 or 5 year sticker from the dealer when purchased new. After that, it was only every other year that you had to be inspected. From what I understand now, they only do emissions up there and have done away with the safety inspections all together. Something like a little less than half the states in the country do that now. They leave it up to LE to enforce on the roads. I wish VA would do that, seeing as how we are all into personal liberty and what not down here. As others have pointed out, check out our gun laws! Oh and whats up with no radar detectors in VA? Sorry for the long post/rant. [/QUOTE]
