    Say you are driving 78 mph on the Capital Beltway and a state trooper tickets you for "reckless driving -- speeding 20 mph over." You will probably be fined $200 by the judge. But then you will receive a new, additional $1,050 fine from the Old Dominion, payable in three convenient installments. So convenient that you must pay the first one immediately, at the courthouse.

    Glad I don't live in Virginia any more!

    Here in Missouri a co-worker just got a $107 speeding ticket so I guess he got off easy!
