If you like to “put the hammer down” when you’re behind the wheel on Virginia highways you’re more likely to get a speeding ticket than most of the country. According to insurance portal RateGenius the Commonwealth is #2 in the country for the number of speeding tickets issued. Close to 16% of Virginia drivers have a prior speeding violation. The first ticket means 3 points on your license even if it’s for as little as one mile an hour over. Ohio is #1 for speeding tickets.
