From what I understand, Virginia is a speeder's nightmare. Radar detectors are illegal. And I've read about/heard that if you're caught exceeding the speed limit by more than 20 miles per hour, it's considered a WRECKLESS DRIVING infraction and you go to jail. Seriously. Any of you Virginia residents want to confirm this? It's a pretty state but the penalties can be unreasonable.

Also VA state troopers tend to try NOT to give reckless driving tickets. That charge seems to be more of a deterrent than a normality.
