80+ cuz I work out of the house and pretty much make my own schedule so by the time I go out all the other losers are already at work :D

note, I said OTHER losers
When they run you out of town make it look like you are leading the parade.

I would've had a tough time deciding between 80-90 and 90-100 if they were options! I take a straight highway that's pretty much open (traffic goes the other way). Speed limit is 65, which means 75...and sometime I go a bit over....

Closer to 75 (or a teeny tiny bit above :wink: ) on the interstate which is about 3/4ths of my commute.

Yeah... Come to think of it, I've never known a cop to speed needlessly... :roll: :roll: :roll: :P :P :P
Sort of hard to believe for you East coasters, huh?
A cop that actually obeys the same laws he enforces. :roll:
Maybe you could get some of the politicians you guys elect out there to do the same thing! :x

Somewhere between 12 and 65, depending on how many school busses, tractors or buggies that I get behind.

If you DO go over 55 do you have to pull yourself over and give yourself a ticket? :wink: :wink:


No, but feel free to make my day any time and come out here and do 35 M.P.H. in a 25 M.P.H. zone. ANY TIME. :D

go ahead, make my day. Or night :wink: :wink: :wink:

i'm guessing about 35 on average, but probably close to 60 under the Hudson River--- I'm all PATH ('subway' that connects NYC to Jersey) and NYC MTA.

Depends on which way I go.. but the highest POSTED is 65. Which means I usually do 10-40 mph. Denver metro traffic sucks. :roll:

80-90 on my brief time on the interstate....55-60 on the highways around the city (yeah, the speed limit is 45...but the few who drive that speed are a hazard) :lol:

I'm very fortunate in that I live very close to where I work. I don't even have to get on the interstate. Eight stop lights, and about 12 minutes is my usual commute.

I'm an excellent driver. :wink:
