How fast do you drive

Depends on location. When I am traveling in South Texas, I commonly do 90 or so. There are very few cops--only border patrol. I am white in a company car, so I do not get bothered. Around town in S.A---at or below the speed limit because cops here are crazy.

I fit into the 5-10 over most often but it seems lately I am always stuck behind the people perfectly comfortable doing at least 5-10 Under. It's kind of strange how often it happens lately. So I figured I would see what my fellow inmates do.

That drives me insane!!

I don't mind if people drive under the speed limit, just don't do it in the fast lane when there's open road in front of you!!

on the first remark, not on the second part. For me it depends on the enviroment, in habitated area's I stick to the speed limit, or even below, especially when I see children or pets outside. On the highway or on roads out of habitated areas I will drive faster, usually 5% faster than allowed, as I wont get tickets then.

Surface streets usually 5 over, unless it is a large divided road. Interstate, usually 5-10 over, occasionally faster if the "need" arises. I do have one exception, I-696. The speed limit is 70 and it is not uncommon to have a steady flow of traffic passing you while you're going 80-85. The speed limit on that road is only a suggestion. I used to live just 1/4 mile off I-696 so I drove it a lot. Now I'm 50 miles away so, I don't drive on it much anymore.

BTW, radar detector is my friend.

Also, kids, residential areas I will drive under the speed limit. Especially when there are a lot of parked cars on the road where you can't see well.
