    95% of the time, no.

    On dirt roads, yes.

    On the highway I do, I have to keep up with the flow of traffic. I also drive fast on back country roads, especially when heading out to Coon Creek.

    I don't speed much at all in towns. On the highway..... well let's just say, I've given my 6L vortec quite a workout. Heck, I even beat up on the hamsters under the hood of the Prius.

    I used to lock my cruise control in at 88 mph on the interstates. Passed many a storm trooper without even attempting to slow down. Have yet to be pulled over on the interstates.

    I did get a ticket for speeding within a week of moving to podunk IL. LOL. Nothing better to do I guess. The cop acted like he was going to shoot me too. (dove behind his car door, hand on his gun) I laughed.

    Id say 99% of the time I dont. Always watch my speed. Getting a ticket would mean retesting for CDL

    Up where Ray Wanking lives, you're dangerous if you're not keeping up. Which means you're speeding. You have to be really speeding (like 30 over) or doing something really dumb or just really having a bad day to get a speeding ticket on the highways up there. Trust me.

    Just throwing this out there. In some states, it is illegal to be traveling slower than the speed of traffic in the left lane, even if traffic is going above the stated speed limit.

    Yep but I make sure I'm not the fastest. Let others weed out the cops in front of you.

    Been there done that.
