Let me school you in SoCal driving...
USUALLY it says 65...and you are going 5-7 mph. SO...when the road is open, and it says 65...you are owed at least 85 to make up for the hours of going 5-7.  This is just how it is. |

My daily driver is a truck with a full time 4wd and low gears..... I drive real slow....
 Driving my car though, is a different story.... and I only get to drive it a few times a year, so it's not that bad..... I'm a safe driver...

Usually about 9-10 miles over, when its an open road and the radar detector is not squawking, 20-30 over in the car, 70-80 over on the bike.

I generally do 5-7 over, Have been know to "wind it tight"
My license is my work, so I dont play to much, but everynow and again I get a fool in a Frontier wanting to play games, me and the big rig will hit 115 or so. Most Nissans only go 89-92 'cept for the Zs. Piss' em off when they cant out run a big truck ( well its really a Large Car )

flow of traffic-probably within 5 mph of the speed limit on most roads.
Then I watch out for the people (idiots) who think they're in death race 2000. Zooming in and out of traffic to gain 5 seconds of time over 10 miles

Usually 10 over in the city if traffic allows.
20 over on the highways. In the unlikely event that I get a speeding ticket I just plead not guilty and request a trial by jury. |

I hate how so many other cars now use "Z" in their name. The Z28 was one of the 1st if the 1st to use Z in it's name. It is the original "Z" car! The 2002 Z28 Camaro(last year they were made) would top out out 167mph bone stock. I don't think any Nissan, Toyota, Mitubishi or even the mighty Ford Mustang(cept for the 03 Corba) would touch that......see your 350....z in my rear view mirror!

Normal driving 5-10 over, when it's a mostly open road, I've been know to do 20 over. Highways are different altogether, coming out of cali last summer, it was 25-30 over.

Was it really? Dam I new the Nissan/Datson z was around for a long time but not that long. Thought it was 1970's. I stand corrected! Still no comparison to the Chevy Z28. Totally differant class. The Z28 was a true monster. |

I don't want to hijack the thread, but the Datsun/Nissan Z and the Z28 aren't even in the same class. The Z has always been a road car, not a muscle car. Their handling is classed up there with the porche and some other very manuverable cars of the day. The best handling years were the 240 series, 71' and 72' |

Off duty, I'll do 5 mph over the posted speed limit because Governor Lawton Chiles made it legal in Florida.
On duty, I'll go as fast as I have to responding to an emergency call. _________________________  |

I won't say how much over I travel. However since I work at night I usually stick close to the speed limit. I will say that the NY State Cops on 684 are driving extremely fast and the CT Staties on I84 go by me in the triple digits. This is at night no emergency lights the CT Statie was just going to meet his buddies for coffee at the same diner I go to before heading home after work.

Usually do the speed limit or 5 over on all other roads |

Depends on conditions. Wide open interstate, daytime. 15 over.
Around town I pretty much stick to 5 over on the interstates and main roads. 30 is about my minimum speed, if I try to drive slower I'll end back up at 30 unless I'm paying strict attention to my speedo. |

15-20 over the posted limit.
It drives me nuts when people insist on doing the speed limit. It's also really fun to blow through school zones and watch people scatter

I admit I drive too fast. I don't do 100 on the interstate or anything nuts like that. But about 75 or 80ish is ok for me.

I've taken my intrepid on road trips before where I will try to stay around 100 the whole way, though on occasion I have had the governor shut me down at 115.

60mph with the cruise control locked. My 2003 Nissan Xterra requires premium fuel because of the supercharger.
 However, I can and have driven right up to what the electronic speed limiter will let me do(100mph) to avoid various road situations. Not bad for a heavy ass truck. Tickets? Whats that? |

Last few years never over 10.
Before I got my 1st ticket I would easly do 40+ on the highway . Nissan Sentras will easly do 100+ on the highway. Look back on it now, and go what a dumb ass I was.

I used to be very impatient. A few tickets and a couple accidents when I was younger straightened me out.
The most I'll do nowadays on a regular basis (in a non-passing situation) is 10 over. If you go less than that you run the risk of getting rear ended on the highway I drive every day... |

Depends a lot on the local law enforcement reputation.
Near Raleigh, North Carolina, everyone seemed to hit 55 and hit the cruise control. There was no 'fast lane'. On the other hand, speed limits in the UK are more 'recommended guidelines', as long as you're not dangerous, and not doing stupid speeds (eg 3-digit mph) you'll be OK. Here in California, I tend to go 10-15 over, working on the 'safe road' theory. I drive nice low, modern sports cars (Camaro, S-4), which means I can safely take roads a little faster than the average SUV/Pickup. I still get overtaken though. My rule is 'Never be the fastest man on the road'. Second-fastest will do nicely. NTM |

maybe he would have felt better in South Dakota that would have cost him $99.00 on the speed. but I supose they got to pay for that airplane some how.

Usually 15 to 20 over. This morning I was going between 95 and 110 in a 65 most the way to work...was late and have a new boss who watches time.

I drive one of two ways:
1. Watching speed and relaxing in the car - 6 over or less as conditions allow. Cops in San Antonio will look at you only if you're doing 9 or more over. 2. Watching for cops and being an alert driver - 10-15 over. But mostly I just drive the road. This on deserted country roads. Remember, the limit is the same for blind granny's driving a boat in icy weather as it is for Dale Jarret driving attentively in a high performance car. The problem for Dale is that it's designed to safeguard against the old ladies. |

Usually no more than 12 over unless I am in a pack on the Highway. I am in a older PU which draws little attention and have a radar detector. I have gotten tickets before but it has been about 4 years since the last one.
