Drivers in Virginia caught speeding or driving recklessly now have a new way to avoid losing their license. As of July 1, judges can order certain offenders to install Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), a technology that uses GPS data and speed-limit information to prevent further acceleration once a vehicle reaches the posted limit.
