Virginia also has a law (a few years old) that can gain you a ticket for ANY kind of signalling (hand gestures, etc) to another driver - meaning they are trying to quell any kind of road rage.

Problem is, they could technically ticket you for flashing your lights at all - even if it's meant to signal to another driver that they can merge in front of you, or to signal to a driver that they have their brights on.

That being said, this woman could EASILY have caused an accident by throwing the cup. Even though 2 years is a bit ridiculous.

What I found even more fucked up is that her husband is over in Iraq fighting, yet she has to get food stamps. Now THAT is fucked up.
