As The Washington Times reported four years ago, state law says a private company may not simply drop a ticket in a mailbox and expect it to be considered valid service. Unless a driver receives a hand-delivered copy, the citation can be thrown away without consequence. Depriving Alexandria and its revenue-collecting partner of cash is the surest way to ensure this unsafe program disappears for good.

Yep, it is true.  If you get a ticket from a private company in the mail, it is "improper service" and you can throw it out.  Due to a quirk in VA law, if it comes from a private company and NOT the state directly, it has to be hand delivered.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Nope, no such quirk in the law.  In the Land of Marys, you gotta pay if you get a ticket from anyone.

Thats funny.
