I would tend to argue about that.
I hate to say this, but I'll occasionally call someone to see where the radar is set if I'm in a hurry. Very often, the answer on the safer Interstates is
80!
In other words, they're not even going to pull out after you unless you trip the alarm because you're going over 80.
I have never found that Virginia was especially harsh on speeding, and I have frankly been astonished at the number of tickets I hear about.
It seems to me that they could be a lot tougher than they really are.
