We all know people are driving over the limit on the highways at a reasonable speed and don't get pulled over.
So I was doing 70 in a 50 just cruising in the left lane. Nothing crazy. And a suv was behind me for about a mile and then put on the lights and pulled me over. I was surprised as I feel about 20 over limit on highway is usually not an issue. I have pushed out the court date for a couple years so let's see what happens. Unluckily I was pulled over in queens where there is non negotiation on the speed, where in long island they may only give you 1 point and just get the money from you.
So Where's the sweet spot ? 15 over ?

When it comes to speeding citations on the freeway, 15-over is the sweet spot for me and the majority of my partners. On surface streets [absent active school zones] I would say 10-over.
