I "love" crossing the border from NC to VA.

Welcome to Virginia.... speed limit enforced by aircraft.

Yeah, Virginia is no joke. Whenever I go from NC back to NY I always set the cruise at the speed limit. Those fuggers are good at hiding and will get you every time. I think NC has a deal with the attorneys. When my wife received her ticket we had about 50 solicitations from Attorneys come in the mail and rumor has it, if you hire an attorney for a speeder 99.9% of the time the knock it down to faulty equipment. I giggled when my wife got hers and they knocked it down to that because my wifes 4 Runner was about 2 weeks old at that point. I joked for awhile saying, what a POS that damn truck must be!

Yeah, I never never ever speed if I have to go anywhere near Greensboro.

On the other hand my brother got a bogus ticket in Morrisville. Was cited for going 45 in a 35, but was going over railroad tracks and his blue miata was listed as a gray sedan on the ticket. He'd had the car for less than a week and was still in 'must protect baby' mode. Cop didn't show in court, so my brother got off easy... besides attorney fees.

Of course he was only being careful because it was his car and he hadn't really been all that careful with our parents car.
