Now Chair, being a ex cop, I can give you some real good stories to tell if you get speeding. The best, having a bad case of 'have to go, have to go', trying to make it to a service station. No policeman in their right mind will challenge you on this. DO NOT say you are trying to get to the hospital, wife sick, he will end up escourting you. Stay with 5 or 10 miles over the speed limit, best 5 and you will probally be OK, UNLESS the patrolmans capt has gotten onto him for not writting enough tickets. With me, the truth always worked best, I would let them slide a lot of times with the truth.

I have always used the "X+5" rule. The only speeding ticket I got in the last 15 years was when I broke this rule while sallying through a trap in Vienna, VA three years ago.
