1. If we have this huge drunk driving problem on the road, why over a 2 day time period were only 3 out of 3,500 cited drivers( .000085%) on the roads impaired. According to MADD, 40% of these drivers should have been impaired. Way to go MADD for spreading propaganda and getting bad laws passed.
2. It\’s apparent the engineers doing traffic studies have no clue how to set an accurate speed limit for a stretch of road. If I did 55 on the interstate in my state, I would need to drive on the shoulder to avoid being killed. Set a reasonable limit of 70-75 in rural areas. Oh, why would we do that when the revenue stream from unreasonably low speed limits would dry right up.
I\’m curious about receiving traffic violation tickets in states you don\’t reside in. A few years back, I received a speeding ticket in Minnesota, but when I went to get auto insurance in Nebraska, they had no record of that ticket, only a speeding ticket I had received in Nebraska a few years earlier when I was in college and under my parent\’s insurance.
I\’ve heard that certain states have certain \”deals\” with other states to report traffic violations. Can anyone share some insight on this? Also, what about \”out-of-state\” DUI\’s? Let\’s say I were to be charged with DUI in Missouri, would they automatically report a charge like that to Nebraska???
Most states participate in some level of information sharing when it comes to moving violations. Some share with every other state, some with only select states, and there may also be limits on what they\’ll share (all violations versus just major violation like DUI).
The state\’s DMV website may have some of this information. You could also contact ChoicePoint for specifics. Their MVR Decoder book contains a lot of the info you\’re looking for.
The stats they use, and I have seen the stats being cranked, are quite often from outside a bar at 2:30AM. SADD, MADD, etc. exist to give their execs big $. There was an audit of MADD and yes, everyone had their hand in the cookie jar. PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE IN VA and let the cop catch you with a radar detector. It is $250 added to any traffic violation.
not anymore got a ticket in 1993 for radar detector -state trooper asked me if I wanted a ticket for 68 in a 55 zone I-66 near centreville va-yes the speed limit should be 65 or higher but the lower speed limits generate a huge tax base. Taxation for the lead foot! Anyway being well informed I chose the radar ticket as it was a $100 dollar no point ticket. The trooper laughed and said you be amazed at how many choose the speeding ticket for fear of the old radar ticket. You can apparantly thank a NJ lawyer for fighting the radar law and having it reduced in cost as well as no points.

HOW MANY DEATH\’S FROM ROBBERY OF CONVENINCE STORES ETC BECAUSE THE VA STATE POLICE WERE OUT REVENUE COLLECTING?

Thanks.
Great job to Virginia State Police. All they need to do now is go a little north and pull some dems for drunk driving…
Most states now are reciprocal, and I imagine it will continue to do so, especially with the TSA becoming more involved.

Can\’t believe that you get to choose what ticket you\’d like. If you broke the law, you should get a ticket for each violation.
would someone please shoot unreal. i just know he has never made any mistakes in his life
