I am usually pretty good about watching my speed in residential areas. But most of my driving is on newly renovated highway and I tend to just fly on it. Anywhere from 55 (speed limit) up into the 80'* at times.... (peak being 101 once).

Have never gotten a speeding ticket in my life.(knocks wood)
I should have Saturday driving to RI, I was doing around 87 mph.
past a unmarked trooper parked on side of road.
looked in rear view as I past him and he never moved so i kept
on going........

10-12

I'm going to anyway -

(I really deserve to have my license suspended for good since I am an agressive driver, have road rage problems and should pay half my income toward insurance)

"SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT"
Be sure to STAY THERE!

I'm not flaming you Hans BTW.

On the highway, I usually tend to keep up with traffic in the fast lane (which is usually anywhere between 75-80mph in a 65 posted zone).
As far as city driving, I'll usually go the speed limit. There are certain streets that I give 'er a little bit more on though

I tend to stick within 10 of the limit. Much, much closer in residential areas.

on backroads, my engine kill is my speed limit...

usually 12-15 over on the highway...

my license is hanging onto a string.....very small string...

10-12 on the Interstate. That'* running right along with traffic most days. Limit on the stretches I drive on a regular basis is 65mph, but everyone drives at 70-75.
If traffic is lighter/slower, or the road is clear of traffic, I try to run about 69, which is almost guaranteed to avoid attracting the attention of a bored trooper.
There are some stretches that I do run higher(only in light/no traffic, bood weather), just because I know there are never any cops on them, but even then I NEVER go higher than 90.

I used to drive ALOT faster than I do now. The Chevelle attributed to that most of the time. That car was a blast to drive fast!!!

After having my license suspended once for 6 months when I was 17, I decided it really wasn't worth it to drive crazy fast. I was caught doing 94 on a deserted back road near my parents place just after I had put on a new intake, cam, carb and headers. Just had to try it out LOL. I was actually going over 120 (speedo was burried) and he caught me slowing down.

Anyway, back on topic. I only drive up to 9mph over the posted limit. When in town, it'* 35 in a 35. I try not to go much more than 2-3mph over in town or on roads with houses close to the road. You never know what could pop out from a driveway in residential areas. In 55mph & 65mph zones, I'm generally between 5-9mph over. Around here, 9mph is the cut-off for being let go with a warning. Some cops will give you a ticket for 9mph over if they're having a bad day, but most will not. Even if they give you a ticket for 9mph over, it'll usually get dropped down to a non-moving violation in court anyway (unless you have priors).

As always, it doesn't matter how good of a driver you are, things can happen even more quickly than you could ever imagine. And that increases with increased speed!

Drive safe!

I just can't seem to go the speed limit. It has to be at least 9 mph over. However, if I am on the cellphone I do tend to slow down. If there is a jammin' tune on I fly. Like today I heard Flirtin with Disaster and I can't help but go fast (and that song seems to be my theme lately ) I did get hit with pulse radar and I was doing 73 in a 65 but he didn't even pay me any attention....WHEW!!!
