Do you speed?

[Sadie]

I am not much of a speeder. Not that I've driven much in my life but I don't understand why people speed. It's not like it's really going to get anywhere faster. I can't wait to get some more driving in!

 

[MiniVanMommy]

Nope, not really. I usually set my cruise control if it's an open road. If I don't I tend to go faster than I should. That way I know I'm good and won't get caught up going 10+mph too fast.

No can't say that I do. I used to be an EMT and seeing what can happen on the roads makes you take things a little more seriously. It doesn't get you anywhere that much faster, it's just not worth the possibilities.

 

[Craig]

Sometimes, but it's never excess or enough to get pulled over for. I'm staying under 10mph over the speed limit usually. I don't it doesn't get me anywhere quicker, I just can't stand going slow and having people race past me.

I second that! I have gotten one or two tickets in my day for speeding, but they were when I was using my wifes car....no cruise control.... Using cruise too much can really mess you up when you don't have it. :shocked:

Not since I got the first and only speeding ticket (good motivation to follow the speed laws). It was a nasty fine and while I fully understand why its done, it is sometimes hard to deal with. Stay with the flow of traffic right?

I have, although I try not to make a habit of it. I got a ticket last year for going 60 in a 40 (Yikes!). I hadn't meant to speed, I honestly thought the speed limit on that road was 55. Since then, though, I've been extra careful not to speed.

No, I don't get into speeding either. I am a defensive driver and I normally drive within the speed limit. But I would have no issue speeding if I had to.

If by speeding, you mean driving not even one MPH over the speed limit, then yes, I speed. I tend to drive about ten MPH over the limit. Although I have receive two speeding tickets in my lifetime, I know most cops are looking for people going 15, 20, 30 MPH over the limit. That's why I don't have a problem with going ten over.
