5-10 over but sometimes I'll go up to 15 over, 80 in 65. It really depends what the traffic pattern is. Usually I'm around 75 in 65.

Depends where I am, I usually go <6mph over up to a 35, and 40+ zones I go 9mph over. It's that 1 mph I'm convinced that if a cop sees "49" in a 40, he'll be less inclined to pull you over than if he saw a "50" on his radar gun. It's just like the marketing ploy, It doesnt cost $100!!!!! It's only $99.95!!!!. But, It's all up to the cop. Highways I go 80 in a 65, 75 in 65mph zones

I usually go around 75-80 in the 55mph zones on the beltway, and on the 65mph zones i go around 90. I was doing 80 when a police officer was behind me before and i slowed down to only 75 and he just went around me in the left left lane lol.

All depends on the freeway. I usually do 10 over, but many times can go 15-20. Depends on the mood.

Locally is a different story. I keep it 5 - 10 over. Always closer to 5.

Its So Sad Where I Live, The Fastest I Put On My Max Is Maybe 85mph, And That Was For About A Quick 5min Or So. Livining In New Jersey Sucks With The Cops, If They Could I Think They Would Hide In The Trees, But Usually I Go Over About 5-10 Mph Over The Speed Limit

Usually 10 over the limit max on highways, 5 on surface streets - pretty much what everyone around here does. I value my steadily dropping insurance premiums too much to go any faster.

But for the poll, since I do most of my traveling on I70 my cruise is usually set on 79, which is 9 over.
