NC, the worst state to speed in?

http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedL...hapter_20.html

§ 20‑16. Authority of Division to suspend license.
(a) The Division shall have authority to suspend the license of any operator with or without a preliminary hearing upon a showing by its records or other satisfactory evidence that the licensee:

(9) Has, within a period of 12 months, been convicted of

(i) two or more charges of speeding in excess of 55 and not more than 80 miles per hour,
(ii) one or more charges of reckless driving and one or more charges of speeding in excess of 55 and not more than 80 miles per hour, or

(iii) one or more charges of aggressive driving and one or more charges of speeding in excess of 55 and not more than 80 miles per hour;

(10) Has been convicted of operating a motor vehicle at a speed in excess of 75 miles per hour on a public road or highway where the maximum speed is less than 70 miles per hour;

(10a) Has been convicted of operating a motor vehicle at a speed in excess of 80 miles per hour on a public highway where the maximum speed is 70 miles per hour; or

Section 10 is pretty disturbing. Everyone I know drives 76 in 65. :smiley_12

I don't know if its the worse, but I just got pulled over the other week. Was driving with my brother back up to Raleigh from back near Charlotte via U.S. 1 so I could be back in time to take an exam at NCSU. It was like 9am in the morning in Anson County (middle of ******* nowhere) and I was at the end of a small string of vehicles going around 75 mph in a 55 mph zone. Cop came up a country road on the side of the highway and got behind us, I didn't see him till he flashed us with his radar and the V1 went crazy. I knew he had got us even though I had slowed down as he zoomed up behind us within seconds of the detector going off.

no way, by all means VA is THE absolute worse state to drive stupid in. I'm here in Richmond for the summer for a job, and not only do people drive STUPID SLOW (ie: going 35-40 in a 45mph zone)

some of my coworkers also tell me how if you get pulled over and blow any BAC you spend a night in jail. and if you are going 85+ anywhere you will get licensed taken away or something to that absurd degree, can anyone in VA confirm this?
