POLL: Interstate Driving (Tickets)

[JohnCU]

This only applies to interstate driving... what's the minimum amount of speeding you have been ticketed for? Like 5 over? 10 over?

I usually only take 5 or 6 and have never been ticketed, but I feel stupid when everyone is taking 10 and passing me like I'm an old lady on I-20/26 through Columbia or I-85 in Greenville.

Usually, if I can get in the middle of a pack of cars, I'll drive at whatever they are, since I figure the cop won't pull me over in the middle...

they should do research and come up with the average speed people travel on when on the freeway with speed limits of 65mph.
i would assume it would be around 75.
i usually do b/w 70-80 on the highway with 65mph speed limits and hell still a lot of people pass me.

Going up the Turnpike and I-95 I tend to go 85-95. I think limits for both are 75 but I could be wrong. I'm one of those safe speeders. Never gotten a ticket since I have a sick sense of when a cop is around and the drivers flashing there lights in the opposite direction also help.

I usually do 2-4 over and TRY to hit the limit through malfunction junction if I can do so without bein' killed so.. you can pass me and let me be the old lady..

116 in a 70... 46 over. I don't see an option for that.

I usually do 5 over. My insurance rates are high enough, thanks

The first time I'd ever driven on an interstate was on the way back from Cedar Point with my friend and his family about 4 months ago and his dad pulled over at a rest stop and told me to get in the driver's seat cause he was sleepy. He told me to make sure I go 75-80 no faster and no slower and pass when I needed to. I was the only one awake in the car and had just finished driver's ed like a month earlier... :Q

I like it when I'm doing 75 and people are passing me. They're called "Cop catchers."

I have never gotten a ticket, but I regularly speed . For instance, i was on the Meadowbrook over the weekend and the limit is 55, everyone was going 90, so I went 85. Also, on I495, I278, and the Van Wyck, everyone was also speeding. I like to keep up with traffic. If traffic is moving 40 over, you better as hell be moving 40 over or your a hazard.
