Official 295 loop around Richmond/Petersburg thread

[RatBastard]

i mean i zoomed through at 80 mph

Be careful about your speed in VA.  Conventional wisdom has it that law enforcement will give you 10 mph over the posted limit before ticketing a driver (yeah I know it is not always the case just a loose rule of thumb).  Anyway, dating from the 55 speed limit days, there is a law on the books in VA that makes any speeding ticket at 80 mph or above automatically reckless driving, an offense for which they CAN incarcerate you.  When the speed limits increased, the powers that be never changed that 80 mph reckless clause.  So basically if you are in a 70 mph zone and you get pulled for speeding you stand a very high chance of being cited for reckless driving.  I'm not saying this is an absolute sure thing or that speeding tickets will be accompanied by a reckless driving ticket any given amount of times.  Just pointing out the law so we can all be fully informed.  BTW just to make this a post about music, I like Devo.

yeah....i saw a cop and i slowed down.. i didn't overtake him...just didn't feel comfortable..eventually he turned around and i zoomed back up...

as a general rule i think going 80 (and even up to 83ish) in a 70 mph and 75 in a 65 on I95 is pretty much ok

of course you can find an overzealous cop anywhere..


i had to drive fast as it was getting really late and traffic in FL and GA was a beatch.

I think the official speed limit on 95 between Richmond and DC is stay with the flow of traffic!

and sometimes the traffic can be so bad that the speed limit isn't even an issue.

hopefully now that the HOV lanes are pretty much done it'll improve

Wait, we have HOV lanes around RVA now? Where?

I believe he was referencing my previous post about 95 between Richmond and DC.  I like Foo Fighters, to keep my post music related.

[betao]

yeah, I was referring to the 95 stretch between DC and Richmond (well, technically Fburg and DC). friend of mine drove to NYC and back this weekend and didn't hit any traffic either way, which was impressive.

(i hope Underworld make a new album soon & play at the club again)
