Virginia Sucks (though I love living here)

[BlackNTan]

a) Max rear tint 35% sides 50%

b) Radar Detectors Illegal

c) As Dane mentioned (and probably my biggest pet peeve): Front license plate required (WTH? seriously, how many speeders, bank robbers are nabbed from their front plates?)

d) Virginia State Safety Inspections. Ugh.

You have a vert; why do you care about tint? lol

True vert drivers have the top down 24/7, 365. :biggrin


I agree about the front plate. CT has this stupid law as well.
I should move to Florida. No front plates, pothole-less roads...... heaven.

[danewilson77]

^ I thought you lived in CT?

KY: no front plate;

KY: no state inspection;

KY: tint max rear and side 18%.

I have not done the window tint, but I may not need it (IDK).
I do love the no front plate rule and the lack of inspection.

NC had the inspection and sucked.

+1 - the wife never puts the top up unless its raining.

x) speeding is a capital offense

[lilcdkey]

Similar to IL rules... Many of them are only enforced in legit downtown Chicago though. I have 20% tint all around, no front plate, and an Escort 8500 :)

Texas has the front plate rule, and I hate it. Right now I am in violation, but I the locals don't care. Need to get the no-hole bracket, I just keep procrastinating.

As for the state inspection, I think it is a good thing. I have a problem with people driving cars with malfunctioning lights and no emergency brake.

South Carlina doesn't have inspections, but if you get pulled for having a light out or something like it, major ticket.

Good ol' NC, where I used to live, had a joke of a safety inspection and no front plates. In MD, the inspection is a lot more stringent (and expensive); however, you only need to do it once, apparently. NC's was every year but very cheap. Also, we have a front plate here in MD. Not a huge deal.

Screw VA because of their stupid speeding fines. $120 fine for 7 over. LAME! Seriously western VA with mountains is beautiful to drive thru.

d. I-95 = worst road ever. I feel like I need an alignment every time I drive through there.

Well don't go through 495 during the current hot lanes construction. The roads near Tysons Corner are absolutely horrendous.

[llll1l1ll]

Yes they are indeed. I hate I-95, as well.

I'm not that big of a fan of my home state, but I can live with it. My tints are 50% all around, not dark, but legal. There is no reason why radar detectors should be illegal, but oh well. And I refuse to put on a front plate, haven't had one on in years.
