Have you noticed how no one speeds on here when asked about speeding issues.?

Question

Have you never gone 5mph over the limit or are we all little angels.

Answer 1

I have now slowed down over the past six months or so because i have got 9 points,,, all threw speeding so I must be  one of the odd few !

Answer 2

I think it's fair to say that on motorways the general traffic flow these days is round about 80mph - the police certainly aren't going to be interested in you at that speed, as long as you are driving sensibly.

30mph areas are a different matter, though. I try very hard to stick to the limit - it's inevitable you'll drift over by 1 or 2 mph occasionally.

Answer 3

the speed limit is outdated in the UK

Answer 4

I end up speeding a lot.  Weather it is "going with the flow of traffic"  or on the road by myself dictates how fast i will speed but i have been known to go anywhere form 5 -25 miles over the limit

Answer 5

I almost always do at least 5 over the posted speed limit. When I'm on the interstate I may go 10 over but it really depends on what the flow of traffic is like. I try not to speed too much because I don't want to get a speeding ticket.  : )

Answer 6

Nope! I  always drive at or below the posted speed limit.  If you worked  in an Emergency Room you would not be so eager to drive too fast.  I have seen the results, not anything fun about it at all.

Answer 7

I got caught doing 53 in a 30 and got 3 points to prove it.  Wouldn't reccommend it.

Answer 8

The fastest I have had my Service Van up to was 86mph about 16 over the posted speed limit.

Answer 9

I speed - I've been lucky. BUT I don't in 30 or 40 zones - anything above that is fair game though, particularly motorways!

Answer 10

I am sitting in my chair, so it is hard for me to go fast.

Answer 11

I do over ..but like most .

The ones that go under the speed limit are more likely to cause accidents. Cause everyone else want to do at least the speed limit.

Answer 12

yep usually just keeping up with the flow of traffic ;0)

Answer 13

Of course I have. Usually at least 5 - 10 mph hour, but have been known to go 40 - 50 mph over. Luckily I wasn't caught.

Answer 14

Around most places, if you do the speed limit you will get ran over or ran off the road. I usually try to go with the flow of traffic which is on average 5 to 10 m.p.h. over the legal speed limit. If they say they aren't speeding, maybe they are just excessively excellerating.not

Answer 15

I have- and I've gotten a ticket for it too. Luckily for me the judge gave me a warning and dropped the ticket.

Answer 16

10 + over on average

Speeders rule and poky people drool LOL

Answer 17

I do the speed limit - And then SOME!!!!

Answer 18

in town i actually don't speed, it saves no time.  on the highway, i speed 15-20 over, I love my valentine V1

Answer 19

If you only do the speed limit on a Freeway it's like you are going backwards, you're the slowest thing on the road.

Answer 20

i go around 10 mph or 20 mph over the speed limit all the time

Answer 21

I don't consider 5 mph over to be speeding.  Most cops don't either.  I do hear about people who get pulled over for doing 70 in a 65 when they're driving a really hot car, but most of the time I think the cop who does it has a complex or something.

Answer 22

i usually do about 15-20 mph over.

who does the speed limit anymore?

Answer 23

Sure, who hasn't.

Answer 24

Driving down major highways on Fridays of long weekends after work encourages a driver to speed in order to keep up with traffic.......and when passing big trucks too!

I live in Canada and I usually drive around 10 over the limit.......on major highways at least.

In town however, I really watch my speed because of photo radar, red light cameras, etc. too!

Answer 25

Frequently.
