I try to keep it at 50, but there are places where I'll go 60, but only if the rest of traffic goes that fast. I can't drive the speed limit!!

Depends on the area and amount of traffic. I usually try to go the posted speed limit, the exception to that is if no one else is out on the road I go faster.

55, or as fast as the flow of traffic is going. I generally try to keep it between 5-10 above the posted limit.

It depends on the area, if its a steep incline or decline and the weather too. Usually I would stay under 50
GOLD / squash / 13464 posts
I would go 54. My understanding is most cops will only pull you over if you're 10 mph over the limit so I aim for 9 : ) if there are lots of other cars I go with the flow of traffic.

Like 53 or so. A cop friend once said "8 is great, 9 is fine, 10 you're mine" so I try to remember that when I speed.

50 max. I drive people crazy where I live driving that slowly, so I try to keep in the right lane!

The only place I'll drive more than 5 over is the interstate. And even then, I usually keep it under 10 over.

I try not to go more than 10mph over. I'd probably stay at/around 50.

I usually go about 5-9 miles over the stated speed limit - oops! Or with the flow of traffic because I know I get annoyed with people that slow everyone else down.

Maybe 4-5 over but not more than that unless its downhill and I happen to get over 50.

With the flow of traffic. I hate being the only car in the right lane, behind all the trucks. I much prefer being towards the left and getting where I need to go.
bananas / 9899 posts
I usually follow the flow of traffic. If I am alone on the road, no more than 10 over.

50. Once in a great while I'll go more than 5 over- and inevitably get pulled over. Not that that's a big deal in the land of $15 traffic tickets, but I hate being in trouble. Or, with the flow of traffic, although where I live there IS no traffic, lol.

I'd go 50. But, if a car gets close behind me, trying to get me out of the way, I'll go 45 lol.
The only place I will NOT speed even 1 mph over is a school zone.

No more than 10 over unless I am able to blend with the rest of the speeding traffic... I'd rather be in the middle vs lead or end. I have a what DH refers to as a lead foot.
School zones I abide by the posted speed!

Five miles over, that's it! Got burned a few times so I learned my lesson.

Like 55-60, everyone speeds here! I have to slow down if I leave this area though.
honeydew / 7589 posts
45. lol
Unless I have a serious reason to speed, in which case probably 54.

@KissMeCait:
My ex husband told me that same line! I abide by that except in a school zone!
I get so annoyed when I'm behind someone going the speed limit on the dot or Heaven forbid below...

50 LOL always 5 above on city streets. On the freeway/Interstate I'll go 10 over and sometimes 15 if I'm not paying attention. Our speed limit is 65 so I hover at 70-75, but its easy to get up to 80!

45. I'm not really much of a speeder, just more of a cutter offer or tailer.
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
55-60. It depends on the road environment, too. Is this a highway with businesses? Or are there residential houses around?
I tend to slow down when there are residential house around.
cherry / 241 posts
Right at 50. But it really depends on the type of road. I'm a pretty slow driver typically!
pomegranate / 3503 posts
50 as well. If the limit was higher, then I might go 10 above the limit. 10 above is also my max.
