However, in practice a 5-8 mph buffer is fairly common. I heard somewhere that while the accuracy of speedos in the US is fairly poor, there is some law that mandates that if they are off, they must read on the high side so that you will be at or below any indicated speed. When traveling, I usually go with the flow of traffic, but not (usually) more than 10 over. Once you are in the top 10 percentile and more than 5 over, you begin to attract the kind of attention that you may not like. mikey 55, it's not just a good idea, it S*CKS!
