August 12, 20178 yr comment_1539077 Typically <10 but faster as traffic dictates. I regularly drive a 2-lane road posted at 45 where you're a hazard at anything under 50 when it's busy. It's safer to be doing 55 than be one of those people riding the brakes like a drone is going to take them out with a Hellfire if they hit 46. Report
August 12, 20178 yr Author comment_1539091 I'm usually around +9, but if the road is clear and visible, or I have someone going faster in front of me I will go faster too. Report
August 14, 20178 yr comment_1539146 Depends on where I am. If I'm on the highway it's usually 10 or so over. If I'm in a neighborhood it's never more than 5 over. Report
August 15, 20178 yr comment_1539176 What's a speed limit? Seriously though, the speed limits where they exist tend to be so high (~75 mph) there is no need to go much faster. Most stretches I drive have dynamic speed limits that are based on current conditions, which is nice. I once legally got a mini cooper up to 127 mph on the way to the airport. Driving that fast is stressful. Report
August 15, 20178 yr comment_1539182 Waze has helped in detecting cops (Radar Detectors are illegal in VA), but that would be relying on others of course. I-81 in VA is a speed trap the entire distance, and on a trip I made last year to Nashville, I kept it at 9 over the entire way and didn't get pulled over. Report

Think that depends a lot on the car (& traffic of course.) Most cars I've driven start to feel a little loose above 80, but then there are those where you're cruising along, look down and realize you're doing 100mph. Report

October 2, 20178 yr comment_1544114 Waze is a good app especially if you're not familiar with the routes, though there are some users who provide false traffic report. Report
October 2, 20178 yr comment_1544117 I regularly drive 100mph+ in school zones. The younger they are, the more points they're worth! Report
