On an onother note, the "Saftey Corridor" on I-81 just south of Roanoke has nothing to do with SAFETY. It's just a REVENUE PRODUCING SPEED TRAP.

I had a ticket for 79 in a 55 on my record when I moved to Blacksburg, Virginia to attend grad school back in '80. I received the ticket in Arkansas, and in those days it was just a $35 fine there (I'd also caught a break from the trooper who'd pulled me over since he got me doing 91). However, I had to get high-risk insurance because 24 over the limit was considered reckless driving in VA. Ended up trading in my '78 Camaro for a Chevy Chevette because I couldn't afford the insurance payments after that. With the POS Chevette I rarely was able to break the speed limit so at least it kept me out of any trouble with the VA traffic cops...

Good read.
If you don't drive 75-80 around Atlanta, you'll get run over. Haha. |

That's the truth. I have family that lives there. I noticed the same thing about east Texas driving to the fest last year. I was in the middle lane doing 75 and got passed like I was standing still by 18 wheelers on both sides on I-10.

Wow... I can't say my story can compare, however I thought I would share.
Many years ago I was written for 86 in a 50 on Rt. 23 here in NJ. I was driving a modded 944t at the time, very capable of "safely" driving 85ish mph on a three lane highway. It was a Sunday with not another car in sight. The cop wrote me the summons and sent me on my way. I went to court and found out that the judge views speeding in a similar way, reckless... 30 mph over was the "threshold" for my egregious act and I lost my license for 6 days. Needless to say, I always pick my spots now and usually keep my speed in check... |
