Default Do you obey posted speed limits?

I have a natural tendency to go 3-5 over. How about you?

I think of them as guidelines. LOL. Actually I am usually in the 5-10 mph over range.

5 over around town and 10 over on the interstate are pretty standard for myself. I've been lucky, but my wife hasn't. 3 mf'n tickets, a 5 mph, 7 mph, and 11 mph all listening to "my humps." So if she hears that song now she changes it hahahaha

I drive up to 5 over in town and up to 10 over on the Interstate (well, except that time I got pulled over doing 84 in a 70 last year, whoops).

Took a health risk assessment thing at work yesterday and that was one of the questions. Told me I was at a higher risk of death/injury because of it and it asked my willingness to change

I once made it from Charleston to Miami in 7 hours. I had the trucks cruise control set to 110 mph the whole way. My parents that live in Charleston and my inlaws that live in Columbia left 2 hours before us and I caught up to them in West Palm Beach. LMAO

At what point do you pull over someone who is speeding? Do you ignore the guy who passes you in the fast lane as all the other retards go 5 under just because you are a cop?
