Lol. I've done 80 on this road. Limit is 40. It's right by my house. Has some excellent curves.

We need The Pentagon to build more roads!

I'm impressed. When did you become such a badass? :evildude:
Is your military status effectively a get-out-of-jail-free card if you get nailed?
It's pretty funny that that road falls into an enforcement loophole. Generally, speed enforcement in Virginia is pretty nasty. I narrowly escaped getting a pretty bad speeding ticket there on a couple of occasions.
I heard Maryland has gotten pretty bad too. A guy I know said his buddy got nailed for about 20 over in Maryland on the way to his bachelor party and had a mandatory court appearance plus got whacked with a very heavy fine.

No, military status might not help at all depending on the infraction. I've always been super careful on-base because they have a "blotter" which as well as notification to the commanders. Nothing like your boss knowing your personal mistakes.!
Years back on Fort Gordon, GA they had an unmarked Dodge minivan as a patrol car. It sat near the shopping area and was always busy!!!

A Dodge minivan police car?! Who would ever suspect that? No wonder he was busy!
Off base, would your active military status help you if you got pulled over? I have a friend who was in the Air Force Reserves and it used to help him.

Probably not, and I'm horribly bad when I get put on the spot. :mask:

You haven't gotten in trouble enough to acquire that skill.... :lol:
Until you mentioned extreme speeding in a couple of threads, I assumed that you were a boy scout. It's great to see that you have a mischievous side... :evildude:
