[Auto] Virginia Considers Slapping Speed Limiters on Frequent Speeders' Cars

[X A V I]

 

Virginia is set to be the first state in the U.S. to mandate speed limiters for repeat speeding.

The state already has some of the most strict laws on speeding, with potential jail time for driving just 20 mph over.

California recently saw a similar bill vetoed, and there's another limiter bill before Washington state's house right now.

The commonwealth of Virginia might be for lovers, at least according to the state slogan, but it is emphatically not for speeders. State law bans radar detectors and classifies exceeding the posted limit by 20 mph or more as reckless driving, a class 1 misdemeanor. Get caught driving anywhere in Virginia at over 85 mph and that's reckless driving too, with steep fines and possible jail time. Now it appears the state is about to put a new law on the books that will mandate speed limiters on the cars of those convicted of reckless driving, or who have too many demerits on their driving license.
