These "CIVIL" fines are only applicable to us great VA. residents, out of staters get off scotch free? I'm not quite sure how they pulled that one off.
I thought the fines applied to all, while on the roads in VA.

Yea, it really does stink! They way I read the law, DC would NOT apply.
Just VA. residents only.
Don't get me wrong I'm all for people obeying the rules of the road, but if they are gonna gauge your eyes out, that should apply to anyone on the road in VA., resident or not.

That is complete bullshit man. I can't even see how that is fair to everyone. Damn restricted laws.

You can not impose civil fines on residents of another state since states are sovereign from one another.
