Man the last time I was on I-64 in VA, it was like a runway for fighter jets they were running so fast. About like I-95 in SC between I-26 and Savannah. You can still run 90 and get run over.

You all stay safe and ticketless.

Yeah, they have cracked down on I-64 big time. U can still run, you just gotta make sure there is people runnin faster than you. I-64 in Va. is the deadliest part anywhere on it between Chesapeake and it's end in St. Louis. They are trying to change that. Really, they just need to teach people HOW TO DRIVE, maybe that would work too. Ya think??

Dont get me started on that, cause I belive that inorder for
ANYONE to recieve a lisence, they must complete training behind the wheel of a semi so they know just how stupid they really are for not paying attention, hanging out by my tandems, brake checking for a yellow light, not looking in their mirrors at anytime at all while driving.

Damn I have storys from over the years of just riding with other people, n people telling me I dont need to do something while driving.

I HATE VA. I was stationed out there for 5 years and it sucks. I got a ticket one time for going 57 in a 55. 22$ i had to pay. So stupid.

Man, I ain't never heard of something like that, 2 mph. That was just one pissed off cop is all that was, Virginia is pretty leniant most of the time, but they will get you if you are really messin up. There is a bunch of new driving laws coming into effect July, 1

My dad also got one for 57 in a 55 on Highway 29 in Chatam going into Danville. It was state trooper also. Sometimes you just run into a butt.
