I-95 just north of Emporia
Was headed south on I-95 coming back from Williamsburg traveling at 81 in a 70. I had slowed down and let most traffic go past most others were going over 85. I was the only car on that scratch on a Monday mid morning. I see a black Dodge Charger in the woods and think ok I’m only going 80 I’m ok, wrong, he pulls out and catches up to me lights strobing and siren going. He explains that I was popped for going 82 in a 70 which he says in Virginia is a careless and reckless. I was stunned! In NC you would never get stopped for this! This was a local Greensville Sheriffs deputy. I promptly got my local NC attorney to refer me to one in Va and got it reduced to Improper equipment for $255 in Virginia fines plus the $150 for the attorney. Funny part I called one of my NC trooper friends right after I got the ticket and he told me the NC governors suburban got the exact same ticket a few months prior and there was no flexibility even though they were troopers, what a racket these folks have going.
