    I always drive about 7-8 mph over the speed limit and have never been pulled over for that. I think you're fine up to 10 mph

    It's hard to drive much faster than that considering the usual rolling roadblocks of people in the left lane driving the exact same speed as the car in the right...which is usually going about 10MPH under the speed limit.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    I still do have road rage a bit...especially in the morning!! ;)

    BTW, been pulled over TWICE in my life and never received a ticket!!! :D
    I haven't been pulled over. But I'm terrible with parking though. every single time I'm in NYC, I always get a ticket. I think it's my Mass plate! :mad: Damn Yankee fans!!!!

    I got pulled over today.......but it wasn't for speeding it was for not wearing my seat belt which is pretty shitty considering my belly hurts...:(

    He gave me a warning, but for some reason I was shaking....I was afraid because I thought that I would get a ticket....

    What a Wuss I am!!!

    a couple weeks ago i got pulled over for speeding.....i was taking my mom to the doctor (she's undergoing chemo).....well even though we weren't going to chemo, my mom put on a hell of a performance - "i'm going to city of hope' - chemo yada yada.....guilted the cop into giving me a warning......and i was shaking a bit too but that's due to adrenaline :)

    That is very good cutback, I hope your mom continues not to feel sicker...as for the cop that pulled me over, I guess he already filled his quota for the day..haha

    Ignorance and not knowing how to drive is more dangerous than speed IMO.

    I just think we need to train drivers on the rules better. Much like Westsidepie stated about Germany.

    I got pulled over by a cop in an unmarked car a little while ago...I told him that if he were a female driving alone at night being closely followed by a strange man in an unmarked car his reaction would be to drive faster too :p He laughed and told me I had a point and let me go :)

    :eek:

    That is scary and I wouldn't stop if that happened to me! I would wait until I got to a gas station or some other very public place and then I would pull over!! That is scary...NEVER WILL I STOP FOR AN UNMARKED CAR!!!!

    I love driving in Cali. Everyone drives 90-100 mph.

    Oregon and Washington it's about 47 mph in the fast lane. Drives me funking insane!

    It was right by the rest stop on the AC expressway (there's a state trooper department right there) so I knew he was legit...and he was wearing the little state trooper uniform...complete with hat and badge :p ...I think they're required to...but yeah - if you're unsure - definitely get to some place more public.

    Yes speed kills but everytime I've seen someone driving stupidly it's due to them being on the FUCKING phone. They want to stay in conversation so much that they refused use a effing turn signal.

    Drives me craxy!
