Thats just crazy talk.

Now, about the Maryland Virginia relationship.

In 1990 right after I moved back to Maryland, I still had a Virginia license because I had been too lazy to go down and do the change over.
I was living in Maryland, with a Maryland address, but no Virginia address anymore.
I got popped for a dui on rt 2 one night. (last time I ever drank and drove)
Went to court in Maryland, found guilty, fines etc... and Maryland revoked my right to drive in the state for 60 days or something like that.
Revocation time up I decide to get a Maryland license and go legal.

Maryland DMV tells me that because of the DUI virginia has revoked my license until I pay an insurance compay for whatever form (cant remember now) it was that showed I had paid into some fund for DUI recipients, Now, as long as my Virginia license was in a bad way, Maryland could not issue me a Maryland license.
Maryland also did not have anyway to take care of the required forms for an out of state license.

I go to the virginia DMV and try to get the form taken care of. Cant do it.
In order for the insurance company to file that required form, I have to have a valid Virginia address. I didnt, so the form could not be filed. P.O box would not work.
After calling for like a week, I find some insurance company in Richmond that was willing to write the forms based on the address on my license without the required proof that I am actually living there.
I drive down to Arlington at 8am and make a down payment of 200 dollars on this 4k a year fee for the form. He then Issues the required form for me to prove that the fee was paid and that I was covered.
From there I go to the VA DMV again and I pay the fees to reinstate my VA license. I get the required forms from them showing that my license was valid again.
Then I drive right back to the DMV in Maryland, present all the forms and I get the Maryland license issued.
I go home from there, call the insurance guy in Arlington and I cancel the policy he had just written early that morning. He was pissed, Let me know that he would be issuing the revocation orders to the VA DMV within the hour, But, for the cost of 200 for the forms, some 50 or 60 at the VA DMV then the standard Maryland fees, I now had a Maryland license that was clean.

So after a week or so of phone calls to finally realize that VA could not issue me a good license without me having a valid VA address, and Maryland not being able to issue me a Maryland license as long as the VA license was suspended,, I realized, maybe its best to just keep my beer drinking at home when I wont be driving.

By the way, the form is an SR-22 (looked it up)

Well, there's that.

If my 17 year old got clocked doing 20 over, a felony charge would be the least of their fears.

two on the ground and one up their ass?

My son was heading back to school from a family reunion and was stopped in Wythe Co. Virginia for speeding. He was doing 80 in a 65 and received a ticket with a fine of $150.00. The officer told him he could pay the fine, or he and/or his attorney could go to court to see about having it lowered. After speaking to several different attorney's we decided to hire an attorney to represent our son in court. The ticket he received was a fine of $150 and 4 points. The Attorney went to court for our son, and had the charged lowered to a mechanical failure/non-moving violation. He had to pay the fine and court costs. Although the price of the Attorney and the fine were steep, we felt that it would be better for him and his insurance rates to go the way of the attorney. His fine worked out to be $261 plus the fee of $200 for the Attorney. Much cheaper than his insurance going up. Per the Attorney, Maryland and Virginia do tell each other of moving violations. And if your found guilty in court, or pay the fine, your state will be notified of the moving violation. Whether or not your insurance is notified is another question. Not one we were willing chance.

Luckily our son wasn't going over 80, which is class 1 misdemeanor. So, if your traveling in VA and you are 20 miles over the limit or over 80 mph, you could be charged with a misdemeanor.

This was the first violation for our son, who is 20, and from this experience, I'm sure it will be his last.

I don't believe insurance companies are notified by the DMV, but insurance companies request and receive the info from the DMV routinely

I am guessing that at that time his record was not updated a week later, he sqeaked by. Hmm nice trick to know though.
