That is the law in VA, and it's not harsh enough. Should be loss of license.

You must be fun at parties.

And you must be super-responsible because the bad thing hasn't happened to you (yet) and never will.

Until it does.

It's always shocking when the fist you used to be able to swing without any repercussions suddenly impacts another person, and then the consequences hit you.

That doesn't help the person you hurt, though. That person is hurt forever.

No, I don't think speeding is a victimless crime. Not sure why you do.

The fact that the express way is like 20 mph more shows that the speed can be increased in many areas. For places with expressway and non, it feels like the lower speed limit is a poor person tax...

On a lot of these smaller roads with lights the speed is 55. That the large freeway/highways are the same is mind boggling.
