On the interstates/motorways, usually 10mph or so over the limit, like most of the traffic.
In town, I don't speed. Not worth it, there's very little actual time you can save, and you substantially increase the frequency of both crashes and damage per crash.
Last speeding ticket? Uh ... never, actually, in 45 years driving. I did once get a ticket for careless driving, overtaking on the crest of a hill.

@firefall Damn, what a law abiding citizen.

@CereBellum not lawabiding so much as careful & pragmatic.
@firefall But don’t you just sometimes [i][b]crave the need to speed?[/b][/i]

@CereBellum not on a regular basis. Very occasionally, but in quite carefully chosen circumstances. I think the fastest I've done on the roads, was 140, at 2 a.m. on the M23, driving back from Brighton (back in my sports-car days). And at that I got passed by a pair of BMWs like I was standing still.
