Do you speed?

I'd say yes but not over 10 because then the cops would pull my big fat ass to the side for a serious complaint of traffic violation.
I might not get caught occasionally for doing over 10 so why take that chance? For the last 5 years I haven't had a single ticket because I am now more wiser. That is just amazing for someone who uses to get tickets every couple of months or so until license suspended prior to year 2k.

 
50+ for me at all times. Getting out of the driveway is tough at 65mph but I'm pretty good at it now.

Obviously.
 
I drive a buick... I usually try to speed, but my foot doesn't want to go faster than 70mph. I do usually go 5-10 over if I'm in a hurry. I've been known to go 20+ over when I'm on a long trip and trying to make extremely good time. My last ticket was 2001....and it was because I was driving a 240sx with no a/c and trying to get cooled down.
 
I typically drive with the flow of traffic. Sometimes that's considered speeding, and sometimes not.. depends on local conditions.
 
I generally keep it 5 over, or whatever the traffic around me is travelling. Although yesterday i got in the upwards of 20+ flying past traffic, then everybody bottle necked and the speeding I had been doing felt pointless. Oh well
 
20 over on average. I hate wasting time driving, and if there's "bandwidth", I use it. I've gotten only three speeding tickets in 13+ years, so I'm not in any hurry to slow down. (no pun intended)
 
For my suv ('04 Nissan Xterra), I'd speed 10 or 20mph more. If I'm driving a '00 Nissan Maxima, for sure I'd speed 50+ more!

Been driving for five years and haven't been pulled over since. 😀
 
most I go over on a regular basis is 20 mph over

35 mph speed limit on some of the streets here is stupid, I go 55 mph max
 
around 20 on avg i'd say, i try not to speed unecessarily etc and i watch out for speed control radars and cameras (full of em where i live) but its hard to stick to the allowed speeds cause they are so low... :|
 
depends on location and conditions. Typically I will go 5 over, but in my new dodge stealth twin turbo im worried that I'm going to get pulled over on every corner, so I try to keep it down.

I do enjoy kicking it up from 30 to 60 on a stretch. And on saturday I went 80 in a 35. I don't like speeding at night, thats how i got pulled over last time, didn't see the cop behind me and got pulled over doing 87 in a 60. And I got out of it without a ticket too 😉
 
I generally stick to the 5-10 kph (yes Kilometers per hour) above the limit. On my way to a University exam though, about 10 years ago, I was busted at 125 in an 80 zone on the freeway. Fortunately, it was photo radar, hence no demerits, just a chunk of change.
 
Depends on the road ....

***When Driving in my Home state only***
If it's a normal road, then usually 8 to 10 over.
If its a divided highway/Interstate/tollway, etc .... then I usually cruise the speed of traffic in the left lane ... so usually 20 over if I'm not in rush hour traffic, or 50 under the speed limit if it's near rush hour.


Last ticket I recieved was out of state, I was going about 12 over in Wisconsin. They are very anal about speeders over there.


Here The last time I got pulled over for speeding was 1999, and I was going 28 mph over the speed limit. (55mph road slowwed down to 35mph .. I didn't slow down, speed trap in Carpentersville, IL)

I used to drive much faster, but that put a lot of wear and tear into my car, tires, and in the end, I really didn't save too much time.
 
I usually don't do much more than 10 over unless I'm going with a faster flow of traffic, or sometimes when I'm feeling lucky and I'm in the middle of nowhere. 😛
 
You have to speed on some roads. There are some roads that are still 30-35MPH and they're major roads now. They may not have been a few years ago but they are now and they don't update the speed limits. 30 MPH is insane on a large road. I try not to go more than 10 over but there are times when it's way more than that.
 
I try to stick between 5 and 10 mph over but once ( I was not driving my bf was) we were going 110-120 in a 45 .

Gotta love that Maxima!
 
just 5-10 over ... mostly drive locally anyway. I always keep it under the 15mph-over cap because then it's larger fines...
