Speeding question?

it is me

30 plus can get a charge of wreckless driving

common acceptance is 6 miles for margin of error.

it is anything over the speed limit. Depending on how scheming the cop is, is when you will get pulled over. Lets say speed limit is 60 and you're going 61. Legally, you can be pulled over, but most cops don't pull you over until you're going at least 10 over. (In this case 70.) Even then, they might just flicker their lights at you to notify you of their presence and authority, and to slow down before they force you to.

I am not sure of the speed. I got pulled over going 24 over the posted speed (they are just suggestions right?). I believe it has a lot to do with the stop. For example, did you pull over right away, were you nice, were you drinking or using drugs? Stuff like that.

1 mi/hr over is enough for a citation
10 mi/hr over is usually where they will actually give you one
30 mi/hr over is where reckless driving comes into play and they arrest you and impound your vehicle.

Most people think there is a 10 mph grace. This is totally incorrect, and not even recognized in some areas. Someone the other day got a very expensive speeding ticket for doing 2 mph over the limit. Speed limits are absolute. It's best to be slightly under, than over.

one,but they normally don't.

well the spedometer on a car isn't perfect so it will be off by about 3 or 4 mph, so i would bet around 3 or 5. why do you care?

Mr Big

i really think it depends on the officer watching your speed. Some wait for 10+, some 5+, and some 15+. So yeah, i think it all depends...

In many, perhaps most situations, you won't be stopped until at least 5 to 10 miles over the posted limit. In ALL state the posted limit is absolute. That means ANYTHING over the limit
CAN get you a citation. Some states have a charge of 'speed in excess for conditions'. That means in poor weather, you can get a speeding ticket for LESS that the posted limit, if you speed is dangerous for the weather conditions.

I got pulled over doing 24mph over the speed limit. The cop said..."one more young lady and I could take you to jail!" So...in Texas, 25mph over the speed limit will get ya arrested.

Is depends on the state that you live in.

ladylafemme1

does,nt matter how much over the speed limit you are its against the law so they can arrest you
you could be lucky and get a warning
or you can get a speeding ticket

They *can* stop you doing 1 over.

But the rule is "9 your fine, 10 your mine"

Technically a cop can give you a ticket for going 1 mph over but it would be easy to beat in court.

I have heard cops say "8 is fine but 9 and your mine"

Pull you over for 1 over hte limit, can deem your driving reckless at 30+ over and you could go to jail.

hmmmm.....from what i've learned in the explorers, 5 is the minimal amount. - my instructor ....but really it is up to the offcr. it would b pretty pathetic tho for u to pull some 1 over for going 2-3 mph over

A cop can pull you over for going 1 mile over the speed limit.

For arresting I think it depends more on the danger resulting from the speeding and not the speeding itself. I once knew a guy who got caught doing 130 in a 45 zone but just got a ticket since it was a long back country highway and in the middle of the night with no one around.

Rycheage

It depends on the state or local traffic laws but a safe bet is 30 mph or more over the limit.

They can't arrest you for speeding they give you a ticket, also one over is enough but most wait till it is about 10 over
