Default Re: Speed Limits

Well it reall all depends on the police officer.

My dad was a cop for 15 years, and usually he'd pull someone over if they went more than 10mph over the speed limit. But other officers would write citations for 5 over, even 3 if they were in the mood to be a dick, and there were such days.

There's no set standard to pull someone over so many miles over the speed limit, just a cop's personal preference. And for the most part they think the same. But times change along with their decisions.

It can be stupid I know. I usually go no more than 5 over the speed limit, because not too long ago I was pulled over for doing 32 in a 25. Cop was having a dick day apparently, but let me off with a warning, thankfully.

So in any case, it'll never stop changing, the best you can do to not worry about it is just either go the speed limit or do 2-3 over it.
