Where in VA was this? There are several well documented speed traps near the NC border. We went down to Myrtle in August and my daughters were in another car somewhere behind us and she got a ticket for 81 in a 65. It was completely bogus. She wasn't going that fast. My wife and her made the 3 hour drive an appeared in court. The judge reduced it to "defective equipment" - speedometer. Interestingly, it looked like everyone there was ticketed for 81MPH. I think the judge knew it was a bogus speed trap deal and reduced everyone who had a good record. That was down in Emporia, VA. I got a ticket for no front tag going down 81 close to the border. I think they look for people less likely to appear in court and just pay the fine.
