Even on city streets! I usually make it a habit to go about 5 (okay, maybe 7 or 8) over on the highway and (knock on wood) have not gotten a speeding ticket in over 16 years! The only thing they're hard-asses about here is speeding in school zones. 1 over and you're toast. Yeah, maybe you should have fought that!

I was between Everett and Seattle down I-5. Cops usually pay no attention to me but I presumed it was holiday season so maybe bonuses were in play? Also, I stick out like a sore thumb in the sea of black, white, and grey cars. xD
