do you exceed the speed limit?

[jims69camaro]

a new survey of drivers found that one of the aggravating factors that add to stress on the road is speeding drivers. so, do you speed? how much is acceptable, over the limit? do you speed everywhere, or just in certain spots/on certain roads? does the speeding of other drivers aggravate the road conditions?

[foff667]

in a 25 zone during school hours i slow down to 25...otherwise I usually hover at 9-11mph over the posted limit in almost all cases.

[JW]

I am an 11mph - 15 'er usally cruising on the parkway 75-80mph.

JW :D

[bad64chevelle]

well since neither of my vehicles have a speedometer that read even CLOSE to accurate I would have to say 5-10 over usually but like said before except in school free drug zones.

[SteveR]

I usually stay at the speed limit around town and on small streets but stay around 10-15 over on the highway or if the flow of traffic is higher I'll do whatever everyone else is.

[Tru2Chevy]

I choose the 6-10 over. That's about average. In neighborhoods and around the elementary schools I keep it to 25, but around town is usually 5-10 over. Highways are usually between 75 and 80, sometimes more depending on traffic.

[j0n]

i usually hover around 5 over on local streets and try to keep the speedo at 74 on the highway(lowest speeding ticket bracket)

[IROCdan330]

Typically, in the city i will drive about 5 over and on the highway its about 10-15 over.

[foff667]

but like said before except in school free drug zones.

how often do you visit those areas? lol

[Batman]

I;m normally 5 or 6 over at the most, except for the interstate, then it is around 20

[skorpion317]

i either stick to the speed limit or do 5 over in town....on the highway i do about 15-20 over the limit.

[Untamed]

:stupid:

[12secondv6]

5 mph around town
25+ on the highway if it is just me
If people in car.... slower on the highway.... maybe 15-20? over

Sorry

Who was the clown who posted, a few months back, that he did nearly 200 mph through the toll booths in southern NJ?

Maybe we should contemplate a Darwin Award section of the forums.

[Savage_Messiah]

11-15 myself

[Squirrel]

~10 over in city
70-75mph on 55 mph roads
80 mph on 65 roads
on ramps- way over limit 8)
willis- ~50

[sikbyrd350]

usually stay under 5 over the limit on local roads...
road like Rt 22 usually keep it no higher than 60...
on GSP, TP, and other big roads, I do what ever traffic allows me to do provided I have no passengers...

[JPiZZiJP]

In town: Speed limit, no more.
Other local/country roads: 5 over, no more.
Highways, Expressways, Turnpikes, etc.: As fast as traffic (and my car) allows.
If I'm in a hurry: What speed limit? hehe :shrug:

That's the truth....that road is too damn long. But I guess it's the price we pay to party at the Barnett's :D

[badzracing]

ah ****, I though it said speed limiter.....my vote has been negated

[NJSPEEDER]

later

[ar0ck]

Around town, Im usually 5 over the posted, except when Im taking the backroads in my neighborhood I roll through. On the highway Im usually 10 or so over the limit. But when it comes to off ramps :lol: WAY over the posted speed. When I have passengers I obey the limit.

Im told I drive like an old man, but I also do alot of Un-nessecary Acceleration.

I remember that! I don't remember the name, but they said they went about 160 through the EZ pass because they didnt have any money or something like that.

[Koll]

Depends where I am. In my town, I speed like crazy. In other towns no more than 10 over. On the parkway (depending of flow of traffic) ill usually stay at 80-90.

I've heard of people getting nailed with tickets for things liek that, did they get you?

[79CamaroDiva]

i usually stay at around 9 over unless its highway, then 75-80 mph is about right.

No speeding ticket, but I did get the violation for not paying the EZ Pass toll. I have EZ Pass though, so I just had to send the violation back with my account number, and only had to pay the toll. The premise for me going through the toll at 130 mph was to see how accurate the system was (and if in fact, the system would capture my plate numbers). I think I posted an image of the violation, that even at 130 mph they were still able to get a crystal clear image of my car.

[jims69camaro]

so i guess since everyone speeds they don't count speeding as an aggravating factor? at least with those that responded.

i've been passed in a residential zone while doing the speed limit, more than once. if i was paying more attention i would've run them off the road. not only is it illegal to pass in a residential zone, it's also dangerous as hell. you never know when that blue hair is gonna back out of her driveway...

i've had tickets for double the speed limit on multiple-lane highways. the hardest part about speeding is what to do with the slow drivers...

there is speeding and then there is ass-clownedness. the guy who is bopping in and out of the lanes is the dangerous one.

[BigAls87Z28]

Fast. Never teh speed limit unles Im trying to piss someone off behind me. I thought about that if they raised the speed limit to 75 on the parkway, that would save me a lot of cop hunting.
