How fast do you drive

on the first remark, not on the second part. For me it depends on the enviroment, in habitated area's I stick to the speed limit, or even below, especially when I see children or pets outside. On the highway or on roads out of habitated areas I will drive faster, usually 5% faster than allowed, as I wont get tickets then.

Surface streets usually 5 over, unless it is a large divided road. Interstate, usually 5-10 over, occasionally faster if the "need" arises. I do have one exception, I-696. The speed limit is 70 and it is not uncommon to have a steady flow of traffic passing you while you're going 80-85. The speed limit on that road is only a suggestion. I used to live just 1/4 mile off I-696 so I drove it a lot. Now I'm 50 miles away so, I don't drive on it much anymore.

BTW, radar detector is my friend.


Also, kids, residential areas I will drive under the speed limit. Especially when there are a lot of parked cars on the road where you can't see well.
