Virginia Speed Traps and Heavy Penalties

Not only are Virginia traffic laws incredibly strict and the penalties serious, speed traps are more than common on Virginia's roads.

Speed Traps, Speed Traps, and More Speed Traps

If you are a resident of Virginia, you are probably already aware of the numerous speed traps throughout the state. However, the placement of many 24-hour speed traps on major interstates would suggest that Virginia residents are not the only target.

You will need the assistance of a professional with experience in Virginia's traffic laws and procedures.
