VA Speeding Fines increasing...

[Sijray21]

How is it that you think California is any better than VA for DMV processing and costs, traffic enforcement, ticketing and fines, and general automotive enthusiasm?

the area makes it more tolerable - compensating in different areas for the higher fines. have you ever driven the Pacific Coastal Highway, or atleast ridden in a car that has? It's amazing and the fact that you can pretty much ride all year round with little threat of rain is pretty nice.

Traffic is just as bad - if not a little better than the DC area. The drivers aren't as inconsiderate and generally they pay attention a *little* more. Not a lot, but noticeable coming from the DC area and driving in SD, LA and SF.

The increased fines and costs of living in the dc area is just another reason to leave it behind (atleast for a little while).
