- It’s no secret that if you speed out on the Eastern Shore, there’s a good chance you may get a ticket. Investigative Reporter Margaret Kavanagh got a ticket for speeding on State Route 13 and started asking questions about how many tickets are written and how much money is being generated. The News 3 Investigative Team uncovered that the town of Eastville is writing a lot more tickets than many other cities.

If they only pull people over going over 70, why did she get a ticket for 64mph…?
How DARE you use your brain and common sense !!
Did she have out of state tags? They love out of town drivers
She got pulled over going 64 in a 45. So 19 miles over the speed limit.
She got pulled in the town of Exmore where the speed limit is clearly marked as 45 mph. The speed limit on 13 in Eastville is 55 mph.
They’ll hand out speeding tickets in a heartbeat, but refuse to do anything about people running red lights, driving while texting, or driving in the left lane and holding up traffic. 🙄
Trying to get the quote done for next year promotion, like at the end of each year they will hand out ciation to the most bs warning you can get
You also forgot to mention crimes and wife beater
Entire state is a speed trap, not just the eastern shore. Think DC and VA are the only ones that ban radar detectors. Small towns in Portugal have one stop light, if you're speeding it turns red and you have to stop. If you're doing the speed limit it stays green and you can continue through without stopping. Genius idea.
wow, did not expect a comment about Portugal on this! Ever since they put the speed lights on the marginal in estoril/cascais I thought that would be the easiest thing to implement in the US, but it never happened.
SPEED TRAP? If signs are properly placed there is no excuse tor speeding, Tourists,or anyone else,bottom line is if you don`t comply with posted speeds,it is YOUR fault,
If you drive the speed limit you won't get a ticket for speeding . As for targeting out of state . The shore is a major road for vacationers . Most Virginia tags on the shore are locals and most of them are working while the vacationers travel through thinking it's the interstate .
I would drive around the commonwealth state, never through it. Been to VA once, ain’t going back.
I’ve been driving up and down the Eastern Shore from Maryland to Hampton Roads and Maryland to Massachusetts for the last forty years. They’re are certain areas and towns famous for speed traps up and down the shore. Eastville, VA lately has been a hot spot, along with the town of Elmore, VA
I grew up on the east ESVA and still to this day have criticisms of it, but I do get why the Lankford Highway has a 55mph limit.
Case in point: one time I was back in town visiting, cruising 60 and some guy merged on a few yards ahead and proceeded to go probably 30 mph. If I hadn’t have slammed on the breaks it would have been ugly.
I hate living in Exmore. I work in Eastville. I live in Northampton county. Emporia isn’t even close (which I have been through several times) here on the shore they literally harvest their own citizens as well as out of towners for every dollar they can squeeze out of them…
One thing that was not mentioned in the video-
Northampton is the POOREST county in VA…
I grew up in Exmore. It sucked when I was a kid and now it sucks even more! When I went back to visit my parents all I heard about was crime, businesses closing and more crime!
Northampton county just sucks in general.
Hahahah I’m in the court here in eastville for a traffic ticket that’s crazy they keep doing it
Remember this story when you hear about open and transparent Government....but then the judge wouldn't allow our 'Free Press' into the court room. This story is a perfect example why I REFUSE to say, 'with liberty and justice for all' because it is a lie.
Lady says I know I will get a ticket. Well I know you habitually speed then. As Frank would say you're learning curve is a straight line.
Does no one remember this Virginia? They use to hide at those “authorized vehicles only” spots on the highway. Even in Nova, states troopers were no one to f with. But then, especially after covid they became soft. I don’t blame them, but at the same time, the should be treating people with VA plates differently. Everyone else should be on their own.
pretty simple, don’t speed
You’re a police chief, but don’t want to be interviewed on camera? Why are you hiding? This is so wrong and definitely policing for profit. A town of only 350 people, but you’re comparable to Virginia Beach in traffic citations.
Looks like money trap
Heck no don’t speed threw there or accomack but idk why ppl come here n act like they don’t c the signs because this ain’t no city we can’t even go 65 55-60 and in town 35-45😂😂😂😂when I go outta town I’m looking for them speeds signs period
Why is she talking like Yoda? Pull people over they do.
The flow of traffic is 70 MPH on any highway or freeway why would you give them a ticket
This is not interstate highways and the speed limit is 55 we care about our family's here and we have to many people hurt because people DON'T CARE
@@9501lewis frankly I don’t care what the sign says. The flow of traffic is what the speed limit is and any officer will tell you that. If you’re going slower than other cars then you get a ticket or you move to the slow lane. If you’re excessively flying past other vehicles and being reckless you get tickets, you go to jail and you get your license taken.
@@tampabayroadcam2017 The speed limit is what is posted. What the drivers choose to do is separate from that and is not a law. Yes, I lived in Atlanta and I'm intimately familiar with "flow of traffic". Still. Excusing "flow of traffic" as a speed law is as good as calling any shoplifting under $1000 not prosecutable.
That’s not a good comparison at all
@@tampabayroadcam2017 frankly you need to grow up and be an adult
You all in the comments are ignoring speed traps
Why so many out of state stops , locals are not driving as recklessly , haters going to hate , pay attention and follow the law
Gotta disagree with the news on this one. cops pulling people over for breaking a law is fair game. If they were pulling people over for false flags that’s a different matter entirely
I literally drive 100+ mph thru there and have never been pulled over
You must come thru when they are not out
News Channel (social media) 3 stick to reporting the news.
Here's a novel idea:DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT!
70 mph in a 55 is too fast. I cant find any fault in ticket harvesting if that many people are doing that speed.
or raise the speed limit? lmao
why would you raise the speed limit thru the middle of a town? its dangerous.@@dauntrl
Stop designing roads for 80 and then slapping a 55 sign on them then.
In Australia, we follow speed limita lol. I guess you guys can't read signs.
Slow down drive 55 in Eastville and grow up and take responsibility for your actions its your fault not somebody else's. We live here when you speed on the Eastern Shore you endanger our family's so please feel free to take 64 to 95 and go north.
LOL MAKE IT COMMUNITY SERVICE NO MONEY FINES
