I haven't got a speeding ticket - photo or pullover - in 8 years but there isn't a day I have driven where I have not been speeding. Typically I default to either 10 km/h or 15% over the posted limit, whichever is greater. I've been lucky, no doubt, so perhaps it's time to reconsider getting a jammer, especially as firefly pointed out with fines increasing 35%. That said I won't complain when I do get a ticket as I knowingly break the law, even though it's a law with grossly low limits and one which is obviously used more for funding than safety.

While I obviously think speed limits are outdated and too low over the map, they also seem tough to set. Really they have to set them to the worst scenario...I mean is an experienced driver in a new Ferrari doing 20 km/h over the limit equally as dangerous as a new driver in a rusted and poorly-maintained 1980s beater? Clearly not...but they have the same limit applied.

I really enjoyed driving in Palm Springs and the areas south. The highway is 120 km/h (75 mph) which is what most highways here should be, and many of the roads in the city had two lanes each way with divider and were set at 72 km/h (45 mph) instead of the 50 or 60 we get here.

A couple times a year CPS will release a gloating story about how many tickets they gave at certain location and 16th avenue/10th street NW always seems to be at or near the top. It's 3 lanes each way, divided, and equipped with advance turn lights yet the limit is 50 km/h. No kidding people are speeding there!
