Do you

speed? By speeding I mean over the speed limit, regardless of what it is... Do you look down at your speedometer and notice that you are almost always above the speed limit? Or are you careful to always stay at or below the speed limit?

Re: Do you

I speed over the limit most of the time ... BUT ... I always keep a safe distance, don't weave in and out and generally try to keep up or go a little faster than the flow of traffic. Yes I drive fast, no I don't drive dangerously.

Re: Do you

I do, but usually only about 5-10 miles above. But it seems like I am usually still going slower than most people Chat Icon

Re: Do you

Ever since I'm a mommy, I have drastically slowed down and I pay a lot more attention to it

Re: Do you

If you asked me this before I started my daily commute to Westchester in September, I would say that I never went more than 10 miles over the speed limit. Now, however, I go 70-75 on the 55 mph Hutch and Sprain!

Definitely a leadfoot for me unless I have the kids or I'm driving in residential areas than I try to go slower. I've talked my way out of many tickets.

Re: Do you

I have never been a person who speeds. Too irresponsible. I am not in that much of a rush.

I usually drive around 70, but I don't weave in and out of traffic. I also am constantly looking in my mirrors to know what is going on around me.

Me too. I usually stay in the same lane and change when it's safe. I hate when I see a car flying up my ***, then passes me when the car in the next lane is not too far from me.

But I think everyone goes over the speed limit, especially on the LIE. If you follow the flow of traffic, then you are probably doing some speeding.

Re: Do you

I never used to- but now I commute to and from the Bronx mainly on 684, and there are so few cars, compared to what it's like to drive on LI at the same time of day. But since that road also seems to be teeming with police, I now set my cruise control for 70 and just coast.
