First off I live here in Wytheville...so glad to see how “sketchy” this area is perceived lol
Most of you only see what’s right off the exits and do not look any further so try harder when you want to make generalizations haha...more WV fans here than you might think....speaking of generalizations the FIFOs and Yanks are the most talked about when it comes to driving skills or lack thereof according to the truckers lol
The cops here DO HAVE A QUOTA! and while you think it’s ok to go 5 above the speed limit ANYWHERE in Va without getting a ticket then you are sadly mistaken...same as driving through Summersville just it’s like that throughout the state here
The speed limit is now 60 coming/leaving Wytheville on I77 due to construction and the signs are very noticeable so no excuses if you get the hefty fine in a construction zone
I dare say I travel 77 from here to Beckley and 81 to Roanoke or Bristol more than everyone on this board combined in your lifetime cause I do it everyday so I can honestly say that people with out of state tags regardless of what state absolutely SPEED like they stole something...you can do it through WV but the game changes once you come through East River tunnel but no one changes their habits
Bland County and Carroll County will nail you just as easily as Wythe County too btw because THAT is their revenue...the sheriffs department is huge for Wythe Co. btw
I won’t say this was or wasn’t race based cause I do not know the cop or his heart but I do know that getting pulled over around here is a given regardless of what color you are or whatever other profiling measure you want to use because I see people of all races, classes, states, etc pulled over
