When it comes to the speed limit, and how much "over" it you are:

9 you're fine.

10 you're mine.

The answer is yes, but CE are a very specific type of people, so theyll say no.

No, I'm driving like 95 >_> If conditions aren't clear, then I'm driving 80.

I frequently find when I'm going less than 80 on most 65mph roads I am the slowest car. No one ever seems to get pulled over going that fast when everyone is.

It's not "okay" but you do you.

I personally wouldn't exceed 75.

It's not ok to hit a specific speed over the limit but it is ok to drive at the speed of traffic. If the speed of traffic is 65, then drive 65. If it's 70, then it's ok to drive 70. If it's 80, then it's ok to drive 80. The only way to know for sure how safe it is to drive over the limit is to match a cop.

As long as traffic isn't busy and I stay in the fast lane the police generally don't care if I'm going 15+. Although I usually drive to and back home everyday around 80-84mph.

My rule of thumb is that in perfect conditions, going 10-15% above is fine. So in a 65, I'd say going between 72-75 is fine. 80 is a bridge too far for that limit.

I'll absolutely be willing to go a max of 80 in a 70 in this scenario, though.

That's me lol. That only happens if the cop is actually driving the speed limit. If the cop isn't being an asshole then people usually just drive like normal.

I go past cops anyway. I rarely get pulled over, but if I do I just flash my badge and they usually let me go lol. I guess having a free pass for minor traffic violations makes me reckless >_>

Early Covid when I was the only person on the road, I found my car really likes going 92. Smooth as glass at that speed.

"I think it's okay to not drive the speed limit because I feel like it"

You should look up how many times fatal accidents occur on roads with "clear conditions" where the driver was driving at speeds well above the speed limit because they thought it was "safe". But hey, you apparently know better than I do, so you do you.

I'm more likely to go 75, although I might do 80 if traffic is pretty sparse.

This. The driver's manual is very clear that the speed limit is fluid, it depends on driving conditions and can be raised or lowered depending on them.

It's okay = You won't get in trouble? Highly variable.

It's okay = It's morally okay. Generally yeah.

Around here you can do 85 with a cop behind you and you'll be fine. It's simply the normal flow of traffic. In fact, if you're going less than 80 in the leftmost lane, you're being a nuisance.

Anything over 10 over and I'd be too paranoid of being pulled over unless the road is empty


This. 70-75 is usually okay, but 80 is just asking to get pulled over by the highway patrol.

I think it's ok but there's situations where I'd be hesitant.

I've seen cops on the freeway blow through the speed limit so I guess it's fine?

Maybe it varies by state, but in my state, you're not supposed to surpass the speed limit for any reason. Enforcing traffic violations are up to the discretion of individual officers, so you might not always get pulled over. But they definitely can cite you if they want to.

City freeway speeds in Arizona are 65, find I'm usually buzzing 75. And I'm one of the slower drivers. These two girls in a Porsche passed me in the HOV lane the other day and I swear they were hitting at least 110.

TPD gives so few fucks, I love it. I feel like MCSD and the state troopers probably wouldn't be as forgiving though.

Practically all lanes were doing at least 80 as I came home today. Cops must be bored where some of you guys live.

Some roads you don't have a choice.

Try going the speed limit on I-285 and you will be run off the road.
