How high above the speed limit are you legally able to go?

I was just wondering how much higher than the speed limit you can go without getting a ticket.|||Hi: Legally , zip, zero, zilch, nada.


However most cops give you a couple of miles per hour depending on weather, traffic conditions etc.


Some towns do have a zero tolerance in some areas such as school zones etc.





russ|||You are not able to go above the speed limit at all, legally. Even 1 MPH faster than the limit is illegal.





In CT, enforcement varies. For example, at one time, on I-81, the police did not ticket someone at 77 MPH (even though the limit was 65 MPH), because, in the time that it took to write the ticket, there would be someone else going over 80 MPH. On the other hand, Route 8 had almost no traffic, and the speed limit there was more strictly enforced.|||ZERO MPH. You said LEGALLY. Legally the second you go ONE MPH over the limit they can write you a ticket. Standard rule of thumb is that the cops give you 5 MPH OVER THE RADAR. That isn't 5 MPH on your speedometer either, that is over THEIR radar. So they clock you at 60 they'll let you go in a 55. What if your speedometer says you are going 60 and their radar says 63 though? They will tell you we don't care what your speedometer says. You get the ticket for 63 in a 55. So when your Speedometer says you are going the speed limit then that is all the faster you are allowed to go.|||Legally, 0 mph.


The speed limit is the LIMIT as to how fast you can go. you could be 3 mph over, and a cop could give you a ticket. Most of the time they won't because they understand, but they could. Just keep with the traffic and you'll be fine. Most of the time at least.|||Legally one mile over will get you a ticket, but all cops are differant. I know a lot of cops will give you 10 MPH, but I had a buddy get a ticket for 3 MPH over.|||0 - Zero - nil - Knot - Schmit The Limit is the LIMIT|||0--thats zero with one o and one z|||in PA they give us at least 7mph over before a ticket
