Virginia also called the Commonwealth of Virginia was named after Queen Elizabeth I of England and is one of the thirteen original colonies. It is a Mid-Atlantic state and is known as the "Mother of Presidents" because eight U.S. presidents were born there, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and Woodrow Wilson.

Virginia is for lovers, and also for families, historians, tourists, musicians, and beach and mountain enthusiasts. Millions of tourists flood the state each year to visit historical landmarks and recreational attractions like historic Williamsburg, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Paramount's Kings Dominion, the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, the sands of Virginia Beach to the gentle Chesapeake shores, mile-high Mount Rogers, and the settlement at Jamestown, which will soon celebrate 400 years of heritage.

Unfortunately this influx of tourists, coupled with the expansion of the residential population, has sent the number of serious vehicle accidents spiraling and a greater number of motorists are paying the price. There were 925 fatal accidents in Virginia during 2004, including 253 speeding related fatalities, 57 deadly motorcycle crashes, and 85 fatal pedestrian accidents.

There are five bridge-tunnels the Hampton Roads, the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial, the Elizabeth River Downtown, the Elizabeth River Midtown, and the Chesapeake Bay bridge-tunnels. Traffic is a major concern throughout the state, and the Springfield Interchange Project was planned to ease concerns on the busy intersection that connects Interstate 95, 395, and Capitol Beltway (495) interchange south of Washington, D.C.

Virginia is divided up into five regions, which include the Tidewater area, the Piedmont, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Valley and Ridge region, and the Appalachian Plateau.
