    One of my buddies got caught with a 9.6 wide doing 68 in a 70 zone in Virginia. He calls me up telling me about this. I ask him if he got a speeding ticket or his permit voided. He says that he got a speeding ticket. 13 over....ouch, that hurts real bad nowadays.

    Anyways, I was always under the impression that doing something like that violates the terms of your permit, which would mean that he would get a ticket for bootlegging a load. But his permit was not voided. Which is worse...a 13 over driving award or the voided permit, plum bob, every inch over 8' 6 ticket, plus new permit fine(s)?

    He was only doing 2 over if he was 68 in a 70 mph zone.

    If some people limited themselves to only talking about subjects they know, the world would be a quieter place.

    Correct me if I'm wrong here but 68 in a 70 is not two over.

    Permitted loads have a 55 mph limit so the fact is the 70 zone means very little.

    I'm very interested to hear what kind of fines would have been incurred if the permit was revoked.
