Poll- Speed limit

[BillSears]

BTW, I was once basically accused of being a criminal anarchist for admitting on the DIS that I do 5-10 miles over the limit. Just be prepared for someone with a sanctimonious "Do you get to pick & choose which laws you obey" chip on their shoulder to come flying along on their broomstick soon enough (at 55, of course).

You should have seen some of the comments made when I was asking about Radar Detector advice. But yep some people do feel very strongly about this.

I tend to go over 70.

If I travel to Baltimore or DC I can push 80 (495 and 695 are nightmares!) If you don't go fast you will get run over.

The speed limit on ours is 65, and generally even if you are going 75, people are passing you.

66-70. I try hard not to get a ticket

On an interstate I normally lock in at 5 mph over the posted limit.

We go the speed limited posted only because we are from Canada and don't want a speeding ticket in U.S. dollars. Here we go 10 to 20 over. The 401 is posted 100k alot go 120 to 130.

Since I live right off the Northway(87)-straight shot to Canada - I frequenty see some(not all)Canadians F L Y I N G past me(and I am usually doing 70-since the speed limit is 65)...so they my just be used to doing 85 in a 65 speedlimit

since my company started a point system, I try never to go over 5mph the speed limit. You can lose your job if your DL has too many points, so I really can't afford a ticket now.

I usually go 5-7 over the speed limit
