Every other time I've been pulled over I've been let off with warnings. Hell one time the chp just flashed his headlights at me when I was going 105 on the highway to warn me to slow down. I guess cops where I live aren't so harsh and really appreciate politeness and honesty.

Serves you right but I'm honestly surprised a Pennsylvanian got a speeding ticket in VA, usually you fags drive slow as fuck

>>17763378
This. Cops around me will let you get away with a lot of stuff if you're kinda and polite and helpful.

>>17763497
We drive slow as fuck there because Virginia Cops love to ticket our asses. My mother has one ticket in her life and it was while we were driving down to North Carolina from PA and she was doing 8 over the limit (63 in a 55) in Virginia. We own a nice blue Honda Odyssey and we are white and there were two children in car seats in the back (one was me). That's a fucking pig right there.

this desu, on the way back i made sure to drive slow as fuck, actually had a VA state trooper follow me at the speed limit (55mph) for 10 minutes before he finally decided to do a U-turn to catch other people on the highway

Where you on 81 or 95?

I was on Hwy 58 (off of I81 near Galax VA) when I got ticketed

On the way back via Hwy 58 to Norfolk was when I saw a bunch of staties cruising and doing U-turns just to catch people speeding.

I took a 1300 mile road trip all the way to south carolina, and of the 5 or 6 people I saw pulled over by cops the entire trip, I think 4 or 5 of them were in Virginia.

That's where you fucked up, you should have kept to the interstates, cops only hunt truckers there but on the byways they will scope out any out of state driver and try to nail them, especially in the rural counties

How to not get a ticket in Virginia
>stay out of the left lane
>be white
>stay out of the left lane
>be from Virginia

Drive to work everyday going 70 in a 55 and have never had a ticket.

Never been pulled over on 83; normal speed is about 15 over. I literally never see cops on there, whether MD or PA. Only York City cops in PA

>>17763378
next just say there were no other cars around so i was endangering nobody

>>17763773
>How to not get a ticket in Virginia
>be from Virginia

I think this is the most important, I hear they target out of state vehicles because there's a lower chance of showing up to court

>>17763772
>That's where you fucked up, you should have kept to the interstate
I realize this now, seemed like every 10 miles on the US HWYs there was a statie cruising back and forth

Why are radar detectors still illegal in VA? are they still using KA?

>>17763320
Is this true OP? I'm from PA and go out of state a lot not having to worry about points would be nice

>>17763378
Fucking CV kids
Cops in La Crescenta were always really chill when they found us skating where we shouldn't have been.
Also one let me off with a warning for speeding (10 over)

At least you guys get to go at 80 mph, which is about 120 kmh. On this shit island, the "highway" is 90 kmh.

>All these fellow PA fags complaining about speed
Let's not forget the fact that when there is a left lane, you can safely bet that 95% of people on the road will attempt to get into it and stay there. Doesn't matter their age, gender, what car they're driving, how slow they feel like driving, or what's distracting them from actually driving. Pennsylvanians will instinctively gravitate to the left lane. Why do we do this?

>>17764546
Left lane is the slow lane

I'm pretty sure that VA will report that to your insurance...

Anyway, I've been pulled over nearly 20 times, ticketed 9 or 10 times ($165-280 each). Mostly speeding, one reckless driving for drifting (successfully) through an intersection, and reckless driving once for jumping a boat's wake in a jet-ski.

At one point insurance threatened to drop me if I got another ticket which led me to outrun the cops a couple times - not cool on my part.

I took the drifting reckless driving one to court and got it adjudicated, where I had to pay it but it wouldn't be reported to my insurance.

I haven't been pulled over in four years now which is nice - dat $62/mo full coverage.

Because the only factors other than a record are

>number of reported accidents for that model year of vehicle

I knew a guy who insured a 2009 S2000 for half that of a Civic of the same year for the latter reason. I also knew a girl who insured a Sunfire under her own name with a G2 at 16 for about $55 a month. A friend of mine's insurance rate for his caravan was cut in half from $300 after his 25th birthday. I have no idea how a province's insurance regulations can get so out of control

I went down to Baltimore last month, and I forgot how nuts them fuckers are on i83. I'm doing 85 mph and just maintaining speed with most people.

I've been doing that HOV 3+ trick for the past year, never been caught yet since I usually just make sure to only go on 95 while it's around rush hour or dark out.

fucking concrete barriers right on the left lane stripe gets sketchy when there's a full size SUV behind you and a semi truck and trailer to your right

All the other times have been simple warnings.

>>17764348
Yeah man they are really chill, I came from a small town and let me tell you, the cops were real dickheads there and would write you up for anything although there was an okay one who let me go when I drove without a license one time.

Yeah I don't know if it's because they have bigger fish to fry or because they've dealt with so many assholes that they really appreciate someone being cooperative and kind.

I only see this near cities (philly, harrisburg) or on the interstate, drive anywhere rural and people tend to respect the "keep right except to pass" rule

>>17766361

>>17764544
checked, I'm glad that the twinned section of the 103 in NS finally got the limit raised to 110, means you can do 120 without getting ticketed, which is what everyone was doing before anyway

yeah i remember driving in the cold february rain and shitty pickup trucks were still doing 80mph passing tractor trailers and shit
