That is not true...

Here is how it works...

Virginia is serious about curbing speed violations in the State and has introduced speeding fines that can top $3,000. More accurately, these are the fines imposed for speeding plus any reckless driving felony/misdemeanor violations you also incur.

Typically, a driver will pay $5.00 for every mph he or she is driving over the speed limit plus court fees of $62.00. Add to that the new civil penalties for Reckless Driving and you are looking at a tremendous fine! Additionally, these civil remedial fees are not one-time payments. You will be put on a scheduled payment plan where you will owe the specified amount annually:
  • 3-Point Demerit Violations at $5.00 for every mph over the posted speed limit:
Speeding 1-9 mph above the posted speed limit
  • 4-Point Demerit Violations at $5.00 for every mph over the posted speed limit:
Speeding 10-14 mph above the posted speed limit
Speeding 15-19 mph above the posted speed limit
Speeding 10-19 mph above the posted speed limit
  • 6-Point Demerit Violations at $5.00 for every mph over the posted speed limit plus all civil remedial fees:
Reckless driving - speeding in excess of 80 mph – Misdemeanor - $350.00 for each of the following 3 years
Reckless driving - speeding in excess of 80 mph – Felony - $1000.00 for each of the following 3 years
Reckless driving - speeding 20 mph or more above the posted speed limit – Misdemeanor - $350.00 for each of the following 3 years
Reckless driving - speeding 20 mph or more above the posted speed limit – Felony - $1000.00 for each of the following 3 years
Reckless driving - driving too fast for conditions – Misdemeanor - $350.00 for each of the following 3 years
Reckless driving - driving too fast for conditions – Felony - $1000.00 for each of the following 3 years




Unless they can prove reckless driving you should be OK, I mean we Benz owners do not drive recklessly - that is for RICERS!



Don't be afraid of Va! Be more afraid of Md...

I just wish we could go but the wife and I are going to Athens, Oh for a concert at Jorma Kaukonnen's Fur Peace Ranch.
Anybody heading through there on the way to Va is welcome to hang for a while

I haven't had a speeding ticket in decades.

Live and learn.

If you want to break the law, be prepared to pay for it.

I'm hoping to have my SDL running in time to bring it out. I'll be there regardless. Heh, VeeDubTDI and I could come in our matching ECOdiesels...

So who is coming? I don';t know about the snobs comment but its been a hell of a lot of work for us planning this event to make it a good one, I hope to see many of you there! ...oh and don't forget to sign up for the track events

one more thing, get your hotel reservations in soon, I believe the first hotel, the marriot has filled up but there are still rooms at our second one, the town place suites.

Don't worry Tyler, you can hitch a ride in my big green 250CE. I'm sure it will be the target of both a great deal of positive and negative attention at Starfest.
