(...) It all depends. Once you get past Fredericksburg and you start to get near the Potomac Mills outlet mall(where the LEGO Outlet store is) and then all the way into DC the speed limit drops from 65mph to 55mph on I-95. I-95 is littered with (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Ok this brings up a question, in Georgia the "unspoken" rule of thumb is as long as you don't go more than 11 mph over the limit you're ok, sounds like it's not the same in some of the Carolinas and Virginia....is that what I'm to understand? If so (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

You should definitely watch your speed on VA's interstates. The limit is 65 mph, and the troopers are much stricter than in most states, especially in work zones. They can be pretty tricky hiding and there are radar spots every single mile on the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Ok, I'll make sure to put mine away in the trunk before I cross the state line. Most of the time I find the best radar detector is someone traveling just a bit faster than me. I try to find one of those and stay with in eye sight of them. jt -- (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Is it true that Radar Detectors are prohibited in Virginia? I just heard that from a friend of mine at the office. Might be some helpful information to note for those of us driving to the fest. jt (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
