What state do you despise driving through?

Borsig · 08-08-2009, 09:48 AM

If any?

For me its got to be Virginia. In the last 10 years, the ONLY tickets I have had, have been in the communistwealth of Va.

Even got a tint ticket there (and I live and am registered in NC! lol)

I used to live there actually... now pass through or go to Va about 5 times a year...

Never have I met such condecending, flat out rude and holier than thou law enforcement than in Virginia. State storm troopers....

Funny thing is I travel to PA alot, and there are alot of police officers that participate in the hobby I am involved in that takes me there. From what i hear from them (many of them are NY state/city and PA cops) the Va troopers are NOT well liked at all, as they dont offer any "professional courtesy" to other LEO's.

I found that interesting....

Im curious as to what other states people hate to drive in (never really driven any further west than texas- and never had a single problem from Texas to New York other than Virginia).

God, NEW JERSEY. They're all crazy, don't use signals, tailgate like crazy, aren't paying attention, always talking on their phones.

Borsig · 08-08-2009, 09:54 AM

I was more talking about getting hassled by the police.

Man i live in VA and i have to deal with all there BS all the time, pulling people over for no damn reason.

atwell3993 · 08-08-2009, 09:57 AM

haha I know, it just seems like whenever I get cut off, the license plate's always Jersey, but yea, Virginia cops are bums, my brother went to school down there and I got pulled over doing "64 in a 50" it was great because i had my cruise control on 58....

Dengel · 08-08-2009, 10:01 AM

New Jersey is the worst

Borsig · 08-08-2009, 10:14 AM

FYI My last ticket in Va was on 81.

74 in a 65. No shit.. 9 over... Thats when I got my tint ticket.

50 bucks says it was becasue there was a roundel on my car.

cruise_bone · 08-08-2009, 10:15 AM

Pennsylvania is the all time worst driving in the country. Their highway system is third world.

I can agree with this - the road surfaces suck, but Ive never had an issue with the law there.

Illinois.

As far as the Midwest goes, they take the cake.

Never had a problem with law enforcement (knocks on wood) I've only had 1 speeding ticket in 12 years of driving... But when passing through VA I always slow down and maybe only do 5mph over the speed limit... I was watching TV, and they (VA) got cops hiding in the bush with a radio, and they clock you and report you to a waiting cruiser to pull you over... NO thank you...

i don't like driving through south carolina especially on I-95
two lanes on each side + douche bag drivers = road rage.

Not only do they hide in bushes on foot, but they also use cessnas...

I mean really... thats a little over the top, isnt it? lol

PS Va is the ONLY state in the nation (Dc doesnt count, its a city) that I know of where radar detectors are illegal. Not that this stops me from running mine..

RyanE92 · 08-08-2009, 11:09 AM

I've had had much issue with out of state cops/law enforcement, but I've heard from others about Virginia.

As far as driving and scenery, Florida blows. Sure, the beach and ocean are nice to look at for a little bit, but it seems to be generally poor drivers, flat and straight, and too f'n hot when I've been.
