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.

It's the norm to drive over speed limit here. If you're going the speed limit, people will be mad at you.

Once I was going over 80mph in a 60mph zone & a cop lit up their lights behind me. I thought I was screwed but as soon as I started to pull over he zoomed past me & turned his lights off. I guess I was too slow for him 🤷
