    Default What is your speeding Threshold?

    What is your speeding threshold? For me, I try to stay at or within my threshold; however, sometimes I can't help but to exceed it. For example, today I was traveling at my threshold of (5 over city) and three perfectly good rabbits passed me. first was going 15 over, the other two were going 12 over. I followed suit of the 12 over. We were on a 3 lane highway pretty much.

    My Threshold:
    City: 5-7 over
    Highway: 10-15 over.

    Last question: Do your countermeasures affect your threshold? How much?

    Eh, for me it totally depends on the area I'm in. In my hometown I normally do about 10 over because of the fact I know where about all leo's post up at. I've lived here all of my life and they very rarely alternate their locations.
    In places where I am unfamiliar I keep it at 5 over (in city).
    On about any Highway I hold at about 10-15 over unless I'm in an all out rush to get to where I'm going.

    Also I may add that Trapster really tends to slow me down. I've been using it for about a month but I just don't know about it. So far, everytime I have gotten an alert on it I have slowed down but I'm yet to see an leo hanging out in any of the spots.

    Countermeasures really haven't altered my speeds at all. I've never been one to constantly go 20+ over the limit and I don't expect to just because I have countermeasures.

    Here in Ga we have the "superspeeder" law which always keeps me on my toes.

    5 Over in City and 10 Over Highway.

    Still, I get pulled sometimes for this heinous act.

    Haha what is this 10 to 15 over sissy stuff on the highways, with or without counter-measures, most states (EXCEPT Virginia and North Carolina) won't even bat an eye at you for going that fast over the PSL....

    I go as fast as possible on highways...depends on traffic and weather really.

    Don't speed much in the city except when heading out of the city like everyone else does.

    Your speeds are about the same for me. Really the only thing that effects me is if I'm the only car on the road. Then, I'm super careful. Maybe going 5 over the PSL is the max. Especially at night. MS State Troopers can be a real PITA sometimes. 10-15 over PSL and they will have a field day with you.

    In the city, depends on the road and PSL.

    Usually 15 over in city if safe, sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends a lot on time of day and intersections. Always PSL through intersections unless road is deserted.

    Highway, +30 ish PSL

    I never cruise in triple digits, not safe. If I had a Porsche or other car built for speed, I may cruise at 100ish

    I have no rules. I go as fast as I feel like going.
