I'll speed sometimes... on a dual carriage way when its pretty quiet i might go a km or three over the limit.
Same here mate.... and everyone does. I set the cruise control to 112 and happily drive past radar with no issues, but I dont think this is the "speeding" we are talking about. Even 5-10km over the speed limit to me isnt 'speeding' unless you are driving in a 40 or 50 zone (which I stick to because there's a valid reason you need to be driving that slow), but it's these ####ers who drive 80+ in a 50 zone (happens on my street all the time) and I always wonder how the hell they will stop if a car (or kid!) pops out suddenly from a driveway. I couldnt imagine anything worse than taking the life of a child . Like I said, I'm no angel.... I think its fair to say that I rarely stick to UNDER the speed limit on 60 or 80 roads... always 1 or 2 k's over. But to me thats ok... 1 or 2 k's doesnt mean I'm reckless.
I guess it's all relative to % of speed.... is 10% the limit to most folk? 10k's over at 110 is pushng it, as it 4 k's over at 40. I know radar has a lower tolerance, but I'm not talking about that. What do people consider 'safe' speeding?
