I hate to be the buzzkill here but why bother spending time and money trying to not get pulled over when it comes down to common sense. A cop isn't going to pull you over if you aren't doing anything wrong, so that'* not what we are avoiding. I drive freeway/highway all the time, and don't get me wrong, I like to drive just as fast as the rest of you, but its a matter of if you don't want to pay for it, then don't do it. If you want to test out the limits of your car, or your nerves, there'* better places to do it then anywhere you have to worry about getting pulled over.

Now I'm not trying to stir up any troubles here, I'm just stating facts as best I can.
Every time the speed limit was raised 5 mph, the number of automobile related fatalities increased. Now while you may be fine and happy with everyone under the sun driving 56 to whatever in a 55, I'm not. Each and every person who speeds around me is intentionally putting me, my wife, and my unborn child at a higher risk of death. Sure, it'* unlikely. Do you think it'* worth it though? You get somewhere 30 seconds quicker? I'm sorry, but I have too much to live for yet, and I can't even begin to imagine what I'd do to a person who was speeding and injured/killed my wife/child....
