Watch your speed in NC

Just a heads up to those of you traveling to or through North Carolina. They appear to be cracking down on any speeding, even a mile or two. At least for a while.

    I don't think they make a distinction like some states do.


    That is correct - the speed limit is the speed limit for all.

    I'm in favor of slowing down those who believe that speed limits don't apply to them. Now, if I can convince Sarah.

    Pretty common for most northeast states to give 10 mph leeway, mostly because if they pulled over everyone exceeding the speed limit, they'd be too busy to do anything else.
