Re: How fast do you drive
On the highway, I'm usually 10-20 km/h over the limit ( 100km/h = 60mph ).
Around town, I try to stay bang on the limit but find myself drifting a tad higher on occasion. Here in BC, they have implemented new laws: If you are caught going 40+km/h (25mph) over the limit, your car is automatically impounded for 1 week... Plus, you get a minimum fine of $360 Plus, you get hit with an extra $320/year for 3 years when you renew your auto insurance. We have government controlled auto-insurance, so it is tightly integrated with the Motor Vehicles Branch that controls the laws, etc. So that 40+ will, at a minimum, cost you around $1320. If your speeding ticket is higher, factor that in. Also factor in, the cost of having your car stored at a towing yard for a week. I fully agree with these rules for a$$holes speeding in the city but on the highway, you really have to keep track of the posted speed limits... If there is a construction zone posted @ 80km/h and you hit it doing 120km/h, you are screwed if a cop is around. Drinking and driving was also reduced to 0.05 at the same time... The rules are even more draconian if you are caught. |

I cannot confirm nor deny any habits of excessive forward motion at any instances at this time, per the suggestions of legal counsel.
Safe and alert driving is paramount, and it is better to be slightly aggressive in driving and passing at all times, with proper lane use and observation of road and traffic conditions. :hy |

AS far as how fast I drive. I have my 2 little ones with me most of the time (one is 3 years and the other is 3 months old), so I drive right at the speed limit, or no faster than 5 over. |
Re: How fast do you drive
I drive a V8......any questions?

Re: How fast do you drive
To qualify my .05, in Michigan if you have a concealed pistol license (CPL), the maximum BAC (when carrying) allowed is .02 which is often legally defined as "any detectable alcohol content".

Re: How fast do you drive
Depending on where I am in town, 5-10 over.
If I'm on the interstate, it is usually 15-20 over (police officers are VERY understaffed here). If I'm in Red Bank (15 speed cameras in about 10 square miles), then I'm doing 5 under with everyone else. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: How fast do you drive
Looks like I'm the only old pokey ass...1 to 5 under...always in the slow lane though, does wonders for my gas mileage....more money for baccy.

I can't speak to how accurate it is... but I had 3 x 12oz beers between 5pm and 9pm and blew .03 I weigh 194lb and am 6'1". I ate pizza during that time as well. I typically will only have 2 beers when I go out to a herf. As for driving with my 4 year old son... Some days he nags me that the cops are going to give me a ticket and other days he's egging me on: "Lightning McQueen, Daddy, Lightning McQueen!" :D |
Re: How fast do you drive
speed limit laws are point less. on the interstate no one should be going over 30 in thick fog and black ice, but if it is sunny clear and dry why can't we go 100 or more? the basic speed rule should be in effect, and slow asses should drive in the right lane and leave the left lanes for those who want to pass and drive faster. speed laws are just as foolish as drunk driving laws. the focus should be on reckless drivers.

My car don't know slow.

Re: How fast do you drive
These days I usually follow the limit in town and I am 7 over on the highways. This hasn't always been the case tho when I had my Supra or a running Bike . . they've both seen speeds that easily double limits many times.

In the past 3 weeks, the RCMP Air 1 helicopter was instrumental in nailing 2 Hell's Angels and 2 crotch rocket riders. The crotch rocket riders were clocked at 125 mph on the highway and 80+ mph in school zones! That was today! http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-col...cle-crash.html All of them will have their rides seized for a minimum of 1 week and are getting nailed with >$1400 fines. |
Re: How fast do you drive
80 MPH in a school zone? They should have their rides seized for a minimum of forever. :2
