At what age did you realise speeding is a meme? >use way

>>14943161
Eh, I drive with the upper echelon pace of traffic now. There's no reason to blow by everyone way over the pace of surrounding cars unless you're in an emergency.

That doesn't mean I regard the speed limit though.

That's the recommended Autobahn speed, and doing considerably less will turn you into a hazard whenever you pull out of the truck lane.

Do you seriously not understand relativity? If the recommended speed is 80 then no shit it's not speeding; not every road is the Autobahn. Most highways over various countries are somewhere between 55-70

If you aren't keeping with the flow of highway traffic then you are a bigger problem than speeders

And if your highway traffic averages below 80 your drivers are pussies

>>14943161
OP confirmed for dumbfuck doing 55 in the left lane in his shitbox

>>14943161
OP it's not our fault your shitbox can't reach 80.

I go quickly sometimes to not get stuck at a red light. Some lights I know don't stay green for long. I especially hate waiting at red lights where some idiot was dawdling along 20 under the limit in front of you and they're the only one who manages to get through.

You have people who don't know how to speed without getting caught so they hate when anyone else does and so they hog the fast lane.

Whereas I am aware when the police have a road safety operation going on, know which speed cameras don't work, know that most speed cameras have at least a 5km/h tolerance. And you can just tell on a road where the police might set up a speed trap. Anywhere your visibility ahead is compromised and can't see if there's anyone waiting for you or not. If you can see ahead that there's no police then there's no fucking police.

The only thing that can surprise one nowadays is the mobile speed cameras they use now. But they put signage up before you come up to them as well, so you just have to keep your eyes out really.

For the most part I usually just go a little bit over so that even if got my speed checked by a cop or mobile camera operator, no shits are given anyway

>>14943161
Everyone in New Jersey goes around 5-10 mph over the limit on most roads, as a rule. It shaves a decent chunk of time off my commute.
Also there aren't lights on most highways.

>Ring road limited to 70kph from 90/110kph because muh pollution

>Rural road arbitrarily limited to 70kph/80kph for no logical reason.

I'll respect the speed limit when it makes fucking sense.

>>14943339
That sounds awful

Just keep with the flow of traffic. Speed limit is 55 mph. When I drive on rush hour, it's 65-70. If not rush hour 60-65.

Fact: over the course of a lifetime, it will save you literal weeks of your life not sitting in a car
Fact: not all cars burn more gas speeding, that can depend on the design of the car/ motor, and gear ratios within the transmission (driving style is also a huge factor)
Fact: different countries are more lenient with limits, in Canada the general rule of thumb is between 10 - 20kph over the posted limit for highway. 10kph over in cities. it is rare to see someone do exactly the limit on a highway in Canada.
Light speeding is saving weeks of my life one day at a time anon, and life is short.

>>14943161
I cruise at 80 on the motorways, because it just gets me there faster. Few speed cameras, and my satnav warns me about the ones that ARE there.

I've stopped doing absurd speeds in 30 limits, mostly by changing up my route to shorter distances but more stops. I got 3 points for doing 50 in a 30, because that's what you HAVE to do in order to make the next set of lights.

Entrapment is real.

>>14943515
this is true. i get 38mpg on my zx14 at 75 but 46mpg at 90. it literally is not meant to be driven slow

>>14943576
I have a road like that coming home from work. The road between the highway and my neighborhood. There are 3 or 4 stoplights, and you need to do ~52mph to make them all just as they turn yellow. Any less and you get stuck at every damn one. Speed limit is 45mph so it isn't that bad.

>>14943339
Souffrons en silence !

>>14943161
I agree with you, especially on road trips.

I've found on road trips it's better to do like 7mph over on the highway - low enough you probably won't get pulled over and very easy to slow down if you see a cop. The key for good time on road trips is average speed - which factors in having to get fuel and pee stops. I found when I speed that my average speed doesn't raise very much at all and that the extra stress and danger isn't worth it.

It's way more beneficial to have less fuel stops and to choose place to get gas that are quick on and off. Also time saving is making sure meals are efficient and lined up. Because while getting fuel and food your average speed drops way more than 10 less mph would.

For around town by me there is enough traffic that speeding isn't really much of a benefit there either. You have to weave between cars and that's just being an asshole.

>>14944999
>You have to weave between cars and that's just being an asshole.
Not if the other side of the road is empty. So many people don't think of overtaking on the other side which makes it so fun to do

Are you literally retarded? The longer the trip the more benefit speeding has since you'll save more time by speeding even five over. Besides that, where the fuck do you live that there's that many stop lights on a road labeled 60 mph?

>>14943189

Just a stock TF727 with stock sized tires. 65 mph has me sitting at 2600 rpm on flat ground and there's a warning sticker in the door jam saying not to go over 75 and if you get close to that it feels like shit is going to start falling apart.

I've stopped driving flat out recklessly. Some time in the past five years I stopped being the fastest driver on the road.

I still have a V1 and keep pace with the faster drivers. If the limit is 60 I'm usually doing 70-75. Sometimes I like to get home faster and do 80-90 if it's a nice day or something. But no more triple digits and on surface roads I usually stick to five over max

18, when I got my first speeding ticket. I like driving the speed limit on the straightaways. On the bends, however, you bet your ass I'm doing 60 in a 30 turn.

Jesus Christ you guys actually went 3 digits regularly on surface roads? I usually feel like an asshole to everyone else for going greater than 15 over.

I'm 28 and I still treat speed "limits" as suggestions. Cops don't chase bikes around here and in my car I use radar/laser detector and laser shifters. Hit the triple digits any time there is no traffic. In traffic I tend to drive very defensively though, huge following distances and careful lane changing. Unless racing of course but that's different. Then its bump drafting the whole way down the straight.

I drive like I'm not afraid to die because I fuckin' ain't.

When I had to traverse Germany (~450 miles) and I had to pay for the petrol out of my own pocket.
I did no more than 100 mph in a car that would easily reach 155. On the fabled derestricted (for the most part) German autobahn.

In Alberta Canada, where I've lived my whole life, you would have to try pretty hard to obey the speed limits 100% of the time, and police generally don't bother you unless you're going much faster than the traffic flow (which is often going a reasonable amount [10-20km/h] above the posted limit on highways).
