What are the fines one has to pay if caught driving over the Speed Limit in Virginia?
The speed maximum speed limit in Virginia is 70 MPH. The speed limit for most business and residential areas is 25 mph. On state and county sponsored secondary roads, the limits are 45 mph for trucks and 55 mph for other vehicles. The speed limit is 35 mph for unpaved roads statewide.
I have found that police typically give you 10 to 14 MPH over the speed limit before they ticket you. The exception to this is on roads posted with 25 mph or those with sign children present, school area, or disabled person present. They will ticket you for 1 mph over the limit in those areas.
