    I usually go 5-0 over as well. Unless the speed limit is 70 or over, the ol truck doesn't like going much over 70 fuel mileage wise.

    5 mph over no matter what road I'm on, except school zones - no speeding there.

    Highway I'm set at 8 mph over the limit. Anywhere else is at the limit to 5 over.

    Literally <1% chance of getting a ticket under normal circumstances following the above guidelines.

    That's impressive lol. I could spin the tires on my old '88 Ranger, but it was a 5 speed. Man, looking back, I was stupid in high school. It's crazy how fast you grow up...

    In 36 years of driving I have never gotten a speeding ticket nor even warned for it. Must mean I don't speed. :)

    Shame on you guys that speed and now I know who to flick my cigarette butts at when I am driving. Illegal speeders don't care about my safety, the children's safety in other cars, their own children's safety, the cop's safety and are just disrespectful to the law abiding !! The cops should ticket you for .1 of a mile over and the judge should make you pick up cigarette butts in the hi-way ditches for punishment. That would show you... you bastards !!! :evilgrin: :lol:

    Depends on the day. Some days I'll go under the speed limit and enjoy the ride and others I I'll go 20 over.

    I speed when appropriate. I hold tight to the limit when appropriate.

    There in a GIANT difference between speeding & unsafe driving.

    I do on average between 5-10mph over. However on interstates I stick with the flow unless they are not going at least 5-10 over (which is a rare occasion).

    Cruise gets set at 4mph over on highways and interstates. I now too many who have gotten pulled over for 5+ over. In town I usually stick to the limits.
