Does your country let you drive over the speed limit?

In the US, they generally let you go 5 to 12 miles over the speed limit.

I think they put speed limits in some areas with the assumption that people will drive over. Which is why smaller towns have so many 25 MPH limits even though everyone is going at least 35 MPH.

I've heard stories from someone from London, that if they go a single digit over, tracked by some system (not even a human) that they'll get a speeding ticket.


I just find the logic behind how strict an area is, or isn't interesting.

Sometimes I wonder why speed limits even exist here in the US.

In my city, even in construction zones they are barely enforced. You have to be going more than 10 mph over the limit and IF a camera is set up and catches your plate, you get mailed a warning the first time.

I actually read an article about this and thought, "Man, the city is really putting it's foot down!"
@HoeBag wow they sound relax, I wonder where that is
