Apparently, there's a belief out there that if the speed limit is 65, officers or troopers won't pull you over if you're doing 1 to 9 miles per hour over the limit - a so called buffer zone.
The DOT says that's not the case.
Law enforcement says beginning Thursday, they'll target and ticket anyone driving above the posted speed limit.

>>14697260
well you got to enjoy it while it lasted yankfags
aussies have had to put up with this shit for years.
Most of my commute to work on a highway with a limit of 55 mph, I sit in the right lane doing 65 and people blow my doors off like I'm standing still.
I cannot imagine how shit rush hour will be if people are forced to do 55.
>>14697272
Speed limit here is 65mph, almost everyone goes at least 80
>>14697272
>and people blow my doors off
Man this happens to me too. Pulling 80-85 in the fastest lane when the limit is 70, and people will pass you going easily 100 or flash their brights until you start moving 100.
If I get a fucking ticket for 1mph over the limit I am going to put a cap in a nigga.
You realise this doesnt mean a thing? The whole reason there is an imaginary buffer is becuase cops dont bother with a few mph over becuase theres too many people that speed 1-10 over and its too small a ticket for dat monthly quota.
>>14697260
Another reason to hate the state to my South, now all NCfags coming into Virginia are going to be rolling roadblocks, fucking great
>>14697287

>>14697423
>not just taking the bus
Anglofag pls
No. People here try not to speed over 9+posted limit because 10+ is reckless driving. 1 to 9 is still speeding, you just never get pulled for it. What the fuck is a buffer zone?
>>14697260
Lol yeah right.
>>14697260
I can't find news of this anywhere else. I think if it were really a new big initiative, we'd all be hearing about it here in Western North Carolina, too. I think this has been going on for a while; the DOT just wants to scare people.
>>14697440
The 1-5mph range that you can typically argue your way out of a ticket due to speedo variances, radar calibration, etc.
All my tickets have been for at least 10 over. In I'm eastern NC too.
I can't believe a pig would waste his time pulling over someone doing 60 in a 55 when it is pretty much guaranteed they can find somebody doing 65-70 just as easily.
>>14697298
>If I get a fucking ticket for 1mph over the limit I am going to put a cap in a nigga.

>>14697260
>driving 85 in a two-lane 55 shoulderless dotted yellow line road is the glory of indiana life.
Am I lucky or just a big idiot because I easily do 10 over everywhere I go. The other day I passed 2 cops separately, each on the other side of the road, going 55 when the speed limit is 35. My heart kinda dropped because I thought they were gonna turn around and start flashing me, but they jaut get on rolling. On the highway its always 80 over, and that's mostly because it's the flow of traffic here in the Bay Area. Help me /o/, how do I stop my need for speed? It's gonna get me killed one day
>>14697260
i wouldnt worry about it. they dont have the time or manpower to ticket that many people or process their court cases.
Get used to it. for decades, speeding and now distracted driving tickets have been making local governments tens and hundreds of million dollars in revenue.
With autonomous cars basically being unticketable, the remaining meatbag controlled cars are going to take the full attention of the police, and be expected to make up the full gap in revenue.
>>14697440
Where the fuck do you live that 10 over is reckless? Its 25 mph in Virginia. 10 over is almost minimum on the highway
>>14697260
It wouldn't be so bad if speed limits weren't retardedly low. Most "main" roads in Austin are 35 or 40 but even the cops go 50+ on them, without their sirens or lights on. Just cruising.
East cost problems.
>>14698152
There's no reason for the speedometer to be wrong unless you've broken it or have been stupid enough to switch tire sizes without adjusting the speedo. From the factory the indicated speed is in fact higher than the actual speed.

Here in Massachusetts I have had troopers tell me that 10 over will never get me a ticket... If I do the posted limit on any road I am the slowest thing on that road.
>>14698386
We're paying them to fill potholes with sticky gravel that washes away in big rains.
>>14698414
Yes, but they're wrong in the safer direction. When your speedo shows 80 you're actually only going 76 or so.
>>14698383

Theyre only not accurate when you use different tire size than factory.
>>14698465
I know mine's off in that direction but don't know by exactly how much so I go faster to compensate with the flow of traffic
Canadian here, I can't remember the last time I WASN'T doing at least 5-10km over the speed limit. It's just assumed that you're allowed to do 90 in an 80 zone, 60 in a 50, and on freeways where the limit is 100...people routinely do 120-130 without getting pulled over. It's all relative, really. On most highways if you're 15 or more over the limit, you are fair game. Unless it's a freeway, then you need to be driving like a dickhead and/or doing 40+ over for them to stop you.
Get your shit together America, freedumb isn't free.
Most cops here are lazy sacks of shit. I doubt half of them give a fuck enough to do this. Unless their handlers threaten their welfare I mean paycheck.
Good thing it's just NC

>>14697260
It varies by state, but there are typically set fines for different speed brackets. Even when the fine is calculated per mph over the limit, the $ per mph will usually be different for different speed brackets. As a result, the fine for 15 mph over can be double the fine for 14 mph!
It seems that most cops don't waste their time on the lower speed brackets... while they as pulling someone over for a $30 ticket that may miss someone worth a $100 ticket!
>>14698496
If they start writing tickets for people doing 3 and 4 miles over, the courts are gonna be SO fucking clogged with people requesting trials to fight their tickets. It would be a logistical shitstorm and create huge backlogs. Cops aren't going to be stopping people for this shit unless they're on a fishing expedition and need some BS reason to stop people.
>>14697416
If everyone is doing 55 mph, there is no passing lane.
>>14698515
Canadabro here, shit's the same here in Ontario. 0-15 is first bracket, 16-29, 30-49, and 50 or over is considered "street racing".
We get demerit points too.

>>14698548
What shithole do you live in where they can issue speeding tickets to the car and not the individual driver? Here in Ontario they have banned photo-radar specifically because it's a Part I offence and must be issued in person, at the time of the offence, to the offender.
>>14697260
I think the problem is that speed limits are too low now. The current speed limits were designed to accommodate slow shitboxes from the 80s with no stability or traction control. Cars from the past 15 years are extremely safe and stable at higher speeds. I would be okay with this zero tolerance policy if they increased the speed limit to 75-80 mph.
>>14698207
Why the fuck would you do more than 5 over on surface streets?
>>14698565
Only if cars older than 1995 aren't allowed on the roads.

Obviously none of you guy live in Illinois, near Chicago. I travel to and from the city almost every day for work, day and night. Highways you can go as fast as you please. There is also no such thing as a" turn lane". City driving itself is complete anarchy. Almost no lines on the roads anymore, pot holes that want to eat you, and taxi drivers who drive like it's mad max. Also, the tunneling roads underneath Chicago is super famous around here for street racing. I personally have been in an 8 car race reaching 100mph on some spots in DOWNTOWN.
Out here it's everyone for themselves.

>>14698152
1. The law states it's YOUR job to make sure your speedometer works
2. It's a speed LIMIT, nobody is forcing you to go even that fast, if you were going slower you wouldn't have been ticketed, would you?
Someone here has to play the devil's advocate
>>14698695
But you can get a ticket for going slower than the posted limit

>>14698707
>Actually fucking pass people if you're in the passing lane
>Don't drive unreasonably slow
It's not like this is unreasonable. Admittedly the latter is judgment call by police but you're not going to get ticketed for doing 62 in a 65
>>14698207
I would follow thr speed limit in the 35 area, but literally nobody gives a fuck on the freeway/highway. Just go speed of traffic.
>>14698740
Depends if the person driving 62 is black or not. Driving below the limit can be seen as trying to hide something from the police and may incite them to pull the driver over to further investigate.
>>14697260
You hear this shit all the time in various areas.
Bottom line, cops don't want to go the effort of chasing you down on the freeway unless they're gonna get more than just simple speeding out of you; I've never got pulled over for going <10 over, but as soon as I hit 10 over, I would get warnings, and >15 over was a ticket, every time, because 15 is the threshold for reckless driving (which means double the fine).
Cops don't want to pull over the average speeder when they could effectively get double the revenue for pulling over a more egregious offender (someone using the high density lane when they shouldn't, someone driving recklessly, etc.). Keep it below the multiple-infraction threshold, and you'll never have to worry about cops so long as you're not breaking any other rules of the road, and you're not driving around a car with any obvious vehicle violations (expired tags, illegal tint, etc).
>>14698470
Still wrong. My heads-up speedo doesn't even match the dash speedo.
>>14698707
There are minimum speed signs bruh (usually 40mph on highway/interstate)
>>14697260
This is because of all the accidents that have happened on I-40 in the last month. They had a 140 car pile-up caused by a couple dumbfucks speeding and a large clusterfuck of dumbfucks who were following to close.
State police have been getting massive blowback for not doing a better job of catching speeders in I-40 especially between Raleigh and Greensboro. You have enough dipshits doing 90 in a 65 that doing 5 over is never gonna get you caught
>>14699220
Can you do me a favor and tell them to stay the fuck out of Virginia? We already have shitty drivers moving here from up north, we don't need our dumb ass neighbors who are scared to go over posted clogging up 85/95/64 k thx
>>14699229
To be honest man, I hate driving through Virginia, it's just one giant speed trap end to end. At least the sections I have to commonly drive through are.
In australia there is an 8 to 10% allowance, so if going 60mph you won't be booked for 66
Design laws or some shit in cars allows for 10% inaccuracy with car speedos so yeah
>>14697265
Go away cucktoria and take your nazi laws with you
>>14697272
In Orlando on the I-4, the limit is 55, yet almost everyone does 80+. It's three lanes each way, going back and fourth between 5 to 3 with exits and entrances onto the 4. There's accident's almost nearly every day and the police, even though they enforce the 55 strictly, just simply can't do anything about the sheer number of people just going over it. I cruise at 65 in the 55 as well, and people are always blowing by me on my left.
>>14698755
Everybody acts like that with cops around
in SoCal the flow of traffic most of the time is 20MPH (32km/h) over the limit.
That's never going to change.
>>14699300
>In australia there is an 8 to 10% allowance
Fucking bullshit. The tolerance you're talking about is closer to two percent. And if your vehicle is built to comply with "Australian Design Rules" (which if it was sold here new, it does), then your speedometer will NOT read under, but can potentially read up to 10% optimistic. Giving absolutely no reason for a tolerance of any sort anyway.
Exceptions may be vehicles using larger than factory diameter tyres, but then there is no such tolerance to accommodate such instances.
>>14697260
>mfw this is going to just piss off cops who are tying to get somewhere but everyone around them is doing the speed-limit or slower.
Its all fine and dandy for the top brass to say they're going to enforce SUPER STRICT ENFORCEMENT.
But the cops actually doing the enforcement are -not- going to give a shit. Maybe super cop will, but the normal, every day guys will keep doing what they're doing today.

Western Nc fag here. If they start ticketing people going 10 over traffic will slow to a fucking crawl on 26 through asheville. Not like it isnt bad already. They only care about money or seeming to do something after the big accident out east. If they really cared about traffic safety and efficiency they would crack down on people not using indicators, improper following distance, and reckless driving including last minute lane changes and distracted driving. But no. Lets blame people who do 5 over.

>>14703138
That's the exact opposite of how it works. The outside lane is easier for a car to hide in, that's why the inside lane is for passing.
>>14698569
Yeah but how many cars do you see driving around that are 1995 or older? Because of the low amount of these cars, the risk of accident from them is very low.
>>14698383
Idk my 98 with upsized tires read spot on with a GPS speedo and a roadside speedo. Same at 120 in my brz and highway in my brand new truck. Maybe you just have a shit kar.
>>14704032
Also typically the drivers are going to be aware of their limitations.
>>14697260
You can be pulled over at any time, anywhere if you are going over the speed limit.
Yes, typically you will not get pulled over for doing up to 5mph over, and usually won't not for doing up to 9mph but an officer can technically pull you over for doing 1mph over the limit. I personally had a friend who got pulled over for doing 2mph over PSL. It can happen, especially if they're bored and you're the only car on the road.
The good thing is that they'll usually let you off the a warning and if the cop is an asshole and actually fines you just go to court, there's a very good chance that the case will be dropped. They won't waste time and money trying to prosecute you for going 1 or 2 mph over the limit. I got a fine and points halved by going to court for doing 25mph over the limit, for 1 or 2 they'll almost certainly drop the case.
Get a radar detector if you're so worried. Something like a V1 or a redline. I can't imagine NC uses as much LIDAR as my state does so you can probably get away without laser jammers. Just don't take your RD/jammers across state lines to Virginia. They're illegal there.
>>14699267
fucking this. undercover/unmarked outnumber the federal grey and blue marked cruisers 2:1 it seems. to protect and to serve you need to be seen. VSP troopers have no decency. If you are pulled over they have a no mercy policy as in you're getting that fucking ticket, no matter how trivial.
>>14704110
I have to laugh every time I see someone bitching about unmarked cars since in CT every state police car is unmarked and to add insult to injury only about half still have the lightbar on top.
I'm get paranoid every time I see a grey Crown Vic, Taurus, Explorer, or Charger.
>>14697260
Good
>>14697416
I agree but people have a tendency to sit in the right lane doing 5 under in a giant line like a group of mindless ants
>>14704540
Nothing wrong with going under the speed limit unless it's below the posted mibimum
>go down a small decline in the road
>car speeds up .5 MPH
>red and blue lights in the rear view
>>14704555
A lot of areas don't have a minimum speed limit. And in areas that do you shouldn't really go far under the max.
The greater the speed differential the greater the odds of an accident. It has nothing to do with the speed of an individual car. One car going slow will never cause an accident, neither will one car going fast. But one car going too slow and one going too fast on the same road makes an accident possible, factor in more traffic all moving at different speeds and you have an inevitable disaster waiting to happen. There is no world in which it is safe to be doing 40mph on a road with a top PSL of 75mph, even if it is technically legal.

You're a fucking idiot.
It's only a difference of 35 mph. It's the same as a car doing 40 mph approaching a car during 5 mph. There's plenty of time to slow down if your breaks aren't shit and you're paying attention.
>>14704660

>>14697260
Isn't it up to the individual cop to decide what to actively enforce anyway?
>>14698755
A cop must have reasonable suspicion to stop you or you must have violated a city code or something. Its called a terry stop. Slowing down isn't enough to reach that threshold. Though with how vast and in some cases ridiculous city codes for vehicles are they generally don't have an issue finding something wrong. Just ask them why they pulled you over. If they say anything like "routine traffic stop" then the stop is by law bad and you need to go to court where everything will be thowrn out.
Why is NC so gay? I already make sure I full up in VA or SC to avoid their ridiculous gas tax, and they have a mega gay 65 MPH zone on a long stretch of I-95 for no reason.
Then there's the fags pushing for tolls.
That said, it's pretty embarrassing driving from GA into SC, how the roads instantly lose a lane and turn to shit. Not to mention Ridgeville's former speeding cameras.

Chicago fag here.
I 294 which is my daily commute route hits 100-110 mph regularly in certain pockets where the speed limit is 55-65 in places.
How the fuck do people drive below the limit and remain sane.
>>14697260
>they'll target and ticket anyone driving above the posted speed limit.
And how do they suppose half of these will stand in court? The buffer zone isn't there as leniency but because there can be tolerable variation in both radar and vehicles indicated speed which would make defending a ticket for 66mph difficult. A friend with local law enforcement says 10km/h (unless in a school zone) over wouldn't stand a chance if the defendant decides to challenge the fine here in Canuckistan.
>>14707846
Actual NC fag here. At the end of the day, it's all about revenue. If you got ticketed for 60 in a 55, even if you get the ticket thrown out, you'll still most likely pay court cost
The republican governor basically lost his re-election between this and the fucking lgbt shitstorm he just created with the "bathroom bill" they just passed
>>14707875
I can feel you, they added a photo-radar unit on a 4 lane highway not too far from here where the limit is 100km/h yet the real speed is 120. They set it to go off at 101 citing it's for "safety reasons".
>>14707917
It's the same theory here. One of the busiest highways (I-40) has a posted limit of 65mph, but the actual flow of traffic is usually 75-80mph. having the state government start this 'zero tolerance' campaign means state troopers can now basically just issue tickets as fast as they can pull people over
Driving home from work today, I saw at least 5 state troopers writing tickets, when usually I only ever see one (guy patrols the same interchange all the time)
>>14707756
this ability differs wildly between male and female drivers

I think I've seen you around town, we should have an /o/ meet up there.

I once saw a pig in his pigmobile casually run a redlight from the leftmost straight lane. No lights, no siren, no indication that he was actually doing something.
Now get out in the burbs and I see the pigs sitting with radar and shit all the time.
And what the fuck do cops need a Tahoe in the city for? In those cramped spaces they should be banned from using them.
These pigs barely understand the rules of the road and can only ticket for speed because that's all they know, and they even need a machine to tell them that. I'll stop calling them pigs as soon as I see the police Tahoes dissappear, then start using signals, turning into the closest lane, and enforcing these rules as well. I know some random fuck off on the internet's opinion amounts to jack shit, but that still doesn't change the fact that they're barely able to understand the rules of the road and as thus are unfit to enforce them.

Let's be honest. They already were...
I'm an NCfag, but I lived in VAwesome for a few years. As soon as I cross that line, I have to push past all the NC plates to get any speed up.
>>14698431
You're full of shit.
I go to college in durham. I have plates from my home state, and Im going to get pulled over so much. Luckily I'm only in this shithole state for 3 more years.

North Hills drive between lead mine and Millbrook is fun. Assuming no one is in front of you going 30 mph.
>>14698343
Most speedos are a few miles per off

Exactly...The quotas, official or not, are not about quantity or public safety - it's all $$$

>muh right to speed
>muh flow of traffic
fuck off
>>14697260
The fact that you think this is at all universal is sad. Guidelines on when cops pull over a speeding motorist have and always will vary by locality.
>>14697260
oh wow they are going to be pulling over a lot of people.
I live in florida, and if your not going 5-10 over everyone is going to pass you constantly.
Not even exagerating, everyone.

I guess they ran out of democrats to throw in prison. Now everyone has to pay.

Theoretical question /o/
If you are on a sports bike and can actually ride, do you think you could play off not seeing the cop in the event that you have an unsuccessful escape?
The conditions would need to be that they:
1.don't see your plate
2. You are going very fast on a highway, so not seeing a police car is plausible
3. You continue riding at a high rate of speed when you see a cop, but don't look back
4. You give up as soon as it's obvious to a spectator that you should be aware (like another car waiting for you ahead)
The idea is to avoid felony evasion rather than reckless driving etc.
>inb4 autists sperging at me for positing a theoretical question
>>14712975
It's the legal system. They're going to throw everything at you they possible can regardless of the truth.
You could probably get away with having it dropped from evasion to reckless driving in return for pleading guilty.
That's if you don't get killed by a cop hyped up on adrenaline from the chase.
If you're going to run you better out run them.
>>14712975
i know a guy who was going 180 trying to evade a cop
the dash cam picked up his plate, he got arrested at his home.
Apparently he got it reduced to a misdemeanor, but was subject to house arrest. Somehow he kept his job. Dude is a psychopath.
>>14713031
I don't understand why you'd even keep your plate on if you know you are gonna do something dumb like this.
>>14713056
dude is on some kind of medication, not stable. He didnt even get a point on his license. No idea how he pulled it off.
>>14698343
>you drive an old car
>old cars have wobbly speedos at low speed
>it's your fault that it happens
>>14698465
>going slower is safer because obstructing traffic is okay
Boomer logic
NC fag here, I got a ticket the other day for 40 in a 25.
I heard it's getting retarded out there, a friend saw a dozen cars pulled on the highway in a single trip. Can't wait til this shit blows over.
