Virginia Police Impounded A McLaren And A Dozen Other Cars For Reckless Driving

Anybody from NoVa know anyone that got ticketed this past Sunday? The road they were on is a fun, straight with twisty sections, but in the back rural area can be dangerous with deer and people pulling out of blind spots. I think the McLaren's an MP4-12C as I've seen pics of it around.

It seems it happened on the 11th, and the Mega Meet was the 18th. They were recording for Mischief.tv so it may not have been a very public drive.

Virginia has little patience for nonsensical driving. They have fairly low reckless driving thresholds based upon speeding.

And if you were to get into a one car accident, 9 times out of 10 you're getting a reckless driving ticket. They like to use "too fast for conditions" as the reasoning, even when you're doing the speed limit.

Re: Story -

They were allegedly driving like idiots, so I don't feel bad for them. I thought it was funny that they still had to pay towing charges even though some drove their cars to the impound lot.
