You can drive up to 7 MPH over the speed limit in most states before you get a ticket. I have driven 5 over for the last 20 years. I do 80 across Mt, Wy, Ne, Tx, Ok, Ks and Eastern Co. It's mine, I'll drive mine you drive your's.
Passin Thru, I think you have been lucky. Even though you 'might' be able to drive over the speed limit, it puts you at risk for a stop. I find that stressful as I find myself constantly looking for a police car.
Driving the speed limit is relaxing as I have nothing to worry about except the crazy drivers! LOL!
Here in TN, they have started using Ford Escape speed catchers. The cars are unmanned and will snap a picture of you and send it to the license plate address. I'm not sure how much 'over' it allows but I can say it's not the spread that you have been driving.
People have complained about it calling it a 'speed trap' but if you don't speed, you don't have a problem.
Safe travels,
MM.
