    Will 59 in a 55 get you a ticket?
    60?
    61?

    What about in a 60mph zone?

    I am by no means looking to push the limits of safety.
    My truck is governed at 65, so that's it for me anyway.
    I am just curious how fast is too fast.

    I just always seem to be the slowest truck on the hwy...lol.

    61 in a 60 zone can get you a ticket. The posted speed limit is the maximum speed allowed, not the suggested speed.
