Good old VA. I got pulled over for 81 in a 55 a few years ago. I didn’t know their traffic laws at the time and was floored when the cop told me he got me for “reckless” driving, and that it was a misdemeanor offense. Over the next few months leading up to the traffic court date I received numerous calls and pieces of mail from lawyers trying to represent me. Practicing law in that state seems pretty lucrative considering everyone speeds, especially on I-66. It’s a shame since VA has some very nice driving roads.
