Imo, VA is the worst, whether one is on 95 or more westerly on 81: the cops hide out on the long downhill sections, (usually in the middle trees/behind berms), and simply radar spray every batch of traffic, then come after that 'batch' and pick off anyone they feel like, with focus on out of state plates, in my experience. Also, radar is 'illegal' in VA, and some will ask if you 'possess one' and add a $100 appendage ticket whether it was 'in operation' or not...I know, lol!
It's a game and really a revenue game, as you know. Solo/lead car hauling azz is not rec'd.

since it is illegal in VA to use the RDs, the cops are conditioned to this environment - it is like a hunter, going to hunt deer, and all deer have their legs tied up... in my opinion, it is not a hunt, it is a slaughter...
same with the cops just spraying the pack with the indiscriminate "shower" of unwarranted radio energy...
I was pulled over by a cop in VA when i had a fully operational V1 on the windshield, (in 2004) - he told me to turn it off and put it in the trunk... maybe my LE credentials helped at the time - hard to tell...
i just know that in PA, there are some towns that keep their taxes low and collect revenue off state or interstate roads passing through their proper - speed limit goes from 65 to 55 to 45 to 35 in a matter of 2 miles, on the same, 6 lane (3 in each direction), divided, sound-walled-off highway - and right there a cop, nailing folks...
I will try to stay on the good side of the law...
