A GPS can get you a ticket in VA!

PapoZalsa

The only state that you not allow to have a radar detector!

NOW, you can get a ticket for having a GPS affixed to your windshield...
99% of GPS are designed to be affixed to the windshield.

I could not believe this when I saw it in the evening News, I thought I was dreaming.

I need to get the F*CK out of here!

Hrmm if you have it in your windshield, you can use peripheral vision on the road while you look at it. Place it somewhere else and you can't. thats effin stupid.

Everyone in VA should remove their rear view mirrors too, thats obstructing your view.

OR if you mount it high, ask the officer what road goes curves up really fast that if you look at the area above the rear view mirror, its blocking the view of the road...

gah. stupidity.

You are right! With your head straight your still have a 20 angle of peripherical vision on both sides. An with your head slightly turn about 150 angle of your peripherical vision.

Some this lawmakers need to take a few college classes!

In frickin' believable. What else can you say.

Nanny state! I think law makers just need to make it seem like they are doing stuff, only their busy work makes the lives of drivers even worse. You VA guys are definitely dealing with a step above what us Cali residents deal with!

If things keep going this way soon you will be able to get a ticket for driving with the motor running.

NJ is the same way, its obstruction of view. Its not enforced but when you get stopped for no apparent reason and you're drunk or got warrents they'll use that.

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as it isn't blocking your vision. News agency making something out of nothing. Some people put those things on the windshield right in their field of vision like the guy doing the report in the link. You should be fine if it is very low or very high on your wind shield.

That was for the Mid-A people to see because not the whole forum lives in the Mid-A part of the country or browse that section. This one is for everyone. Thanks.
