So I'm a moderate driver in terms of aggressiveness. 98% of the time I drive a car/truck I drive at the speed limit, or 5 over (never heard of a ticket for 5 over personally). On a bike, I usually will find a couple moments to speed and get a rush (80-105 over less than a 1/4 mile of known, safe road), but then I'll slow down and cruise at a comfortable 5-10 over the speed limit.
My question to you is, not how fast do you drive, but how fast from your experience or knowledge can you go OVER the posted speed limit before getting pulled over? (And additionally, is there a difference between a 'pull over' speed where they will light you up and a 'ticket' speed where they will actually document a ticket?)
Perhaps highway has different 'standards' than surface roads, not sure.
I did search for a similar thread and read through several police related threads, but didnt find one specific to this. If I missed it, my apologies, I'm not trying to be a spammer!

Disclaimer: Please note, I do not mean for this to be a debate over how fast is too fast for your personal safety and the safety of others. While I respect that speeding is inherently dangerous, I think 99% of us on the forums can admit to ourselves (if not to others) that we speed at some point or another whether for fun or in a hurry. I'm not defending speeding or reckless driving, I am merely curious as to other people's experience as to how fast you can go before a police officer will light you up. Also this is not a matter of running from the cops or avoiding them, it's a question of how fast you can drive with them watching before they pursue action on it. (I read some of those dang forum rules hence the disclaimers )
