Because they have the strictest governing body which some account it for being a Commonwealth. Basically if you commit a crime their the punishment is extremely harsh.
For example:
1. If you drive 20 mph over the speed limit they have the right (and usually do) to arrest you and send you to jail. You will then be charged with a misdemeanor.
2.Virginia residents who drive with an out-of-state license for more than 60 days are committing a crime.
3. Drinking or possession alcohol if you are not 21 is a serious criminal offense in Virginia. A judge must suspend your license for 6 months to 1 year, order $500 to $2,500 in fines or 50 hours of community service, and may give up to 12 months in jail.
