Is the use of windshield mounts for GPS in cars regulated in the state of Virginia?
Is there a specific law about it? Can you get pulled over? How is it punishable by law?
*I have written to Virginia State Police and waiting for a response.
*I couldn’t find anything on the VA DMV site

VA makes up laws as they go along….
But go to the VA DMV site
They will probably pull you over because they will think it is a radar detector, which is illegal. Is it worth the hassle?
yes it is regulated due to safety and is a law. in the state of Virginia you are not allowed to have anything on the windshield that will impair your view. this is apart of your cars state inspection every year. yes you can get pulled over for it as well. you will get a fine and might have to show up in court. again this is a safety issue. nothing is allowed on the windshield or dash that extends above three inches from the bottom of the windshield. try to mount your GPS below the dash next to the radio, just as long as it is out of your view of the windshield. good luck. if you have any other questions call the state police safety division or go to
