7,390 for speeding, glad that Va has nothing better to do than get speeders. While I applaud pulling over the drunks, man that must be a safe state.

How does: 7390 + 129 + 2,140 => 15,800?

I quess the rest was for all other actions (like texting while driving, which is illegal since July 1st).

Be interesting to know how many speeding tickets went to out of staters and what the average is during the year between Fri morning and Mon evening.

I guess there is one up side.
The state coffers are filling up.

They're supposedly "broke" so they've closed half of all the rest stops in the state.

New Hampsh*t has been doing this for years, back when I lived there it was known as the "driving tax" to make up for the lack of other ones.

i will make sure i skip VA when i drive down to FL.

Hard to skip VA, going south from NJ...unless you go way west or,
take a boat.

Not my fave state to drive through either. The southern/western stretch
of I-81 is quite rural but sticks to the ridiculous 65 mph, and the State
Revenue Cops are hiding out in the bushes, like weeds.

Got my only ticket in the last 2 decades there, a couple years ago, and it was a
BS ticket. But, the vertically challenged state cop was nearly verbally abusive,
so I shut up. What a punqueazz "program", imo and doubtful it has any real world
impact on accidents, speeds, catching real bad guys, etc.
