WTF is wrong with the Republic of VA?

PapoZalsa · 01-28-2011, 07:33 PM

Is this freaking state crazy or the lawmakers smoking something?

Some of this lawmakers need to take some college classes. With your head straight forward your peripheral vision still covers a 20% angle. With your head slighty turn you have a 150 peripheral vision angle. The GPS is not straight in front on your vision plus you have a voice aid.

The only state that you not allow to have a radar detector!

NOW, you can get a ticket for having a GPS affixed to your windshield...
99% of GPS are designed to be affixed to the windshield in this nation. I could not believe this when I saw it in the evening News, I thought I was dreaming.

I have a Modshack modded GPS mount for the Z but this is freaking ridiculous.

I cannot wait to get the F*CK out this state!

Some of those Laws have not been revised in years by the governors or anyone else. They just use them at their convinience.

I hate driving through VA.. it sucks. They have sooo many unmarked cars, and they like to sit in the middle of the highway in the trees, shooting radar, just picking people off.

Yeah, I never liked Virginia. Some of their laws are archaic and need to be removed. And they have the most boring titty bars in the country.

Simple. Don't affix it to your windshield. Affix it to your dash or Vent Mount. VA is not the only state that enforce this. The Law says " windshield " Well the Dash or Vent is not the " windshield ".

Lemers · 01-29-2011, 08:19 AM

If the law says anything about obstructive view on top of the dash will be a "no go" too.

Yes, and they spend half their time cleaning the mirrors and pole with a towel and Windex. Lame...

Agreed. Funny thing is the New law states " Any Obstruction ". So the State inspection sticker would be a Obstruction violation of this same Law. Looks to me like they did not think this through. Even the Cops issuing the tickets are in violation. They are not above the Law.
What a Joke of a Law.

Yeap, titty bars are a joke. They can only use a bikini, no thong allowed. Even if you go to the beaches here in VA the women cannot wear a thong.
