Thanks to NC and MD, we have this d*mn "Click-it or Ticket" campaign that we have to hear every Memorial Day and also thanks to them and CA, the push by the Federal Gov't towards harsher Seat Belt laws - primary enforcement, more nanny state crap. My response to this campaign, "Click-it, stick-it". Leave us alone !

Virginia and North Carolina are model states for more Nazi type of traffic enforcement which makes their way to other states.

Unknown to many out of state motorists is getting caught speeding > 70 mph/55 mph zone, automatic license suspension by the NC-DOT. Also, > 80 mph in a 70 mph zone is also suspension. Go over to VA, more than 20 mph over the limit or over 80 mph is considered Reckless Driving with more points, definite insurance increase and license suspension.

Also with VA & NC, they have anal retentive vehicle inspection programs. Window tint too dark, no sticker. Having EU compliant headlights, also fail. Side note on EU headlights, they have better optics than US-DOT compliant lights. The Europeans also mention our headlamps suck when they visit here. Until president Reagan took office, we were not permitted halogens and we were forced to put up with the lame 85 mph speedo's even in sports cars like Porsches, thanks to Ms. Joan Claybrook of NHTSA. BTW, Ms. Claybrook is a big 55 mph lover and CEO of Public Citizen.

'Fraid you're right...we've passed the "gonna" and the new Prohibition is here.

Within the decade the NC law will be tied to Federal highway funding and all states will be forced to do the same.

Double damn.
