Well, I've been driving legally on the highways for 60 years now. I've driven in nine European countries, Canada and every state of the US, except Alaska.
What I've learned over the years is simply not to drive any faster than the speed limit. An old preacher, back in Missouri, once said "why race other people on the highway, you're most likely not going to the same place anyway?" humfrz |

All that speeding on the street does is get you booked or dead, or worse, someone else dead because you were a **** Send them excuses through, but remember, excuses are like arse holes, everyone's got one

I usually stay within 10MPH of the speed limit but never over 80MPH on the interstate.

I recently got a ticket for going 72 in a 55. It was on a 4 lane separated highway that I rarely drive out in the middle of nowhere. The speed limit had been 65 and I missed where it went to 55 as it was entering a congested area. Cop pulled me over, and he gave me a ticket. I thanked him for his service to the community, then talked about it with a lawyer but ultimately decided it wasn't worth fighting because first I was speeding (my own fault there is a HUGE speed limit sign with a yellow surround warning of the change, I just missed it) and the ticket was a quarter the price of legal representation. Unfortunately I couldn't go to court on the scheduled date or the second reschedule date so I now have two points, the first time I've had points in 25 years. I may go to traffic school to eliminate it, as you can do that in Georgia once every 5 years. None of this was the officer's fault and it wasn't a dumb ass ticket, just a dumb ass driver.

Yeah I got the super speeder notice long after I had already paid my ticket. It sounded fishy to me so I googled it and found a lot of people complaining about it. But it was legit and I obviously payed it. |

In Florida you basically get run over if not doing at least 85. In most states that sounds extreme but here it’s basically the norm and cops normally don’t care. I just have to remind my self when leaving the state that you don’t add 15 to the speed limit on the interstate anymore. Atlanta is a different story. You get run over if not doing 85-90.

Do I get passed, sure, but I've also gotten passed doing just about any speed short of 100MPH.
