How much MPH over does your state allow?

Good reason for this. Safety changes with conditions. Weather, traffic flow and amount, even time of day can make a big difference. As can location. You are a lot more likely to get by with 5-10 over on the open road, than you are in town. And if you are in a school zone, don't be surprised to get nailed for 1 or 2 over.
And then you have the "human" factor. If the cop had a fight with his wife before coming to work, or if he got his butt reamed by his supervisor for something, it just might change his attitude a bit. I know it shouldn't work that way, but it does.

395 through Inyo County in California. It can be crazy. Particularly on a "ski weekend," which is pretty much ANY weekend when Mammoth is open. Lost count of the 100+ MPH that I took to jail there. This was back when the national 55 limit was in effect. Most of us wouldn't even bother somebody for less than 75, unless there were other factors.

 

Depends on the road, State, time of day, and situation. Colorado on the Interstates will give you 5 over, depending on traffic, on the 2 lanes, 3 mph will generally get nothing, 5 over will get a light flash, 7 over and your his/hers.

Nebraska, generally on the 2 lanes, the troopers are in bed or working the interstate only between 11:45 pm and 5:30 am. When they are on, it depends, but I've gotten speeding tickets for 3 mph over on a two lane with no one around in the middle of the day, then again, I also got a warning via the CB for doing 72 in a 65 on snowy highway by a Sheriff's deputy in Nebraska. All depends on the cop.

Wyo., it all depends on their mood. I've gotten nothing for doing 82/75 on I-25 and I've also been stopped and cited for 72/65 on US 85 @ 4 am when it was just me, him and the antelope.

Then again, go run US 287 between Amarillo and the Tx/Ok. line, limit is 70 mph, as long as your between City limits, anything less than 10 mph over is fair game. Within City limits, you better be doing 2 mph under the limit.

Oh, and US 287 through Ok., N. of Boise City, they have been real sticklers about the limit lately, So. of Boise City they have been giving a few mph grace.

 

In ND 4mph is the break even for writing the ticket.

 

so 8 your grrrrrreat!!!!!!!!! ( = just had to

 

Stretch it it 58?calm down there outlaw.

 

lol

seems the troopers leave you alone in oregon at 62 so far, been helping surge for walmart and 2 walmart trucks and myself were all travelling together going 62, a couple troopers just passed us up and left us alone

Now that I say that let me get the trooper in a bad mood on tomorrows run lol

 

You just never can tell. Doing the exact same thing, in the exact same place, with the exact same copper watching you, may bring different results. Depending on just how busy he/she is, and on many other things.

 

I ran 5 over across the Ohio Turnpike on a daily basis for over a year. Never ever had any problems, except once a trooper pulled out next to me and started pacing me, I figured it was too late to do anything about it and slowing down would be too obvious so I carried on with him for about 5 miles, he then pulled over on the median. I guess he was just repositioning and didn't want to bother with me.

 

In the cities I go the limit. Outa the cities 60 unless its a 50 or below. Ain't no reason to go over 60 no matter how much time you think ull lose going slower. Nobody does drop and hooks at any given time if the day on every load.

 

They got me coming out of Detroit doing 70. Guy wrote me up for 65 trying to look nice.
