A few laws for VA riding

**coacha** · 12-06-2009, 10:08 PM

A few things from a motorcycle site about VA:

* Wear a helmet. motorcyclists and their passengers must wear an approved motorcycle helmet that meets or exceeds the standards and specifications of the Snell Memorial Foundation, the American National Standards Institute, Inc., or the federal Department of Transportation. Helmets that meet these standards are marked accordingly on the inside of the helmet.

* Protect your eyes. Motorcyclists must wear a face shield or safety glasses/goggles, or the motorcycle must be equipped with a type of windshield approved by the Virginia State Police.

Another thing, since Virginia ran out of money and had to close almost all of the interstate rest stops the State police have got REAL SERIOUS about our 65 mph speed limit. My theory is that they are raising money to build interstate out houses.

Another VA law is no lane sharing unless. If caught it is a reckless driving ticket. Unless of course you are a VA State MC patrolman who routinely violate it.

I see I am keeping up my high literary standards. That should read; " Another VA law is no lane sharing."
