They can give you a ticket for 1mph over if they want. A lot of areas in that part of Virginia will do just that. But 5mph is the general threshold in VA and especially in that area. If you get tagged doing 40 on the twisty part of 211 where the limit is 35, trust me you're getting a ticket.

I got a solution. What about bringing donuts, tons of yummy looking and tasty glazed donuts. Wouldn't that work? I heard they are suckers for donuts

Great idea. You take the lead position with the donuts, Cruise about 45-50, and we will follow. Problem solved. You're the best bird man

man thrown under the bus. I was thinking m4a1mustang would be the bait on this one; afterall, he is the main one in our group with a cop-like 5.0 stang

Bertaut,

You think that a couple dozen Dunkin Donuts will pay these cops off? These are the feds, man. Have some respect.

Minimally, you'll need to get Starbucks Coffee and a couple dozen Fractured Prune donuts. These guys know quality, clearly.

Mmmm Fractured Prune donuts are THE best. We should all go to the one in Columbia since next Sat is a MD meet.

You are right, let's add sprinkles to those glazed donuts and mix starbucks coffee with some water

You all obviously know nothing...

Its iced cold Chocolate milk and Krispy Kreme donuts that get you out of that ticket every time...

I don't believe you

well, for all this spooky ticket-fear, i was pretty spirited all day on the test run... no issues .

i saw one park ranger, who passed me in the opposite direction when i was in the 40's in the park, no issue, and I passed one state trooper parked in the median on 211 doing about 70, also no issue. (we won't be doing that 211 leg even)

I picked the other roads on purpose to be out of the way as well as fun... we can judge by how much traffic is out there when the day comes.

Might be a different story when there are 10+ cars going 70

Radar detectors are illegal in VA and will get you one big fat fine if you are caught with one.

It's actually a relatively low fine, less than $50 last I heard.

a ticket is not nearly as serious as the offense last time that case was heard...no need to worry man.
