Q about the article. Where is Rappahanock County. Front Royal is mentioned and , iirc, is out near the top end of the Skyline Drive, no? Out in the Boonies.
Jail is a real beetch for speeding in the Boonies.  |
He said Rt. 211, which is a 4-lane stretch of rural highway near Washington, VA (not to be confused with DC). I'm guessing 7-8 miles to the east of Washington, past Washington, to the border of the national park. Pretty much Jerkwater, Yoknapatawha County.
Speed limit is 55, people routinely go 70-75. Over 90 is excessive. But that's not the problem with VA law. The problem is that reckless in VA is defined as 15 mph over the limit, which means that basically ANYONE driving on that road can be charged with a serious misdemeanor.
