I have been pulled twice (both on the interstate) and received no speeding tickets whatsoever.
After dropping my exboyfriend (my then-boyfriend) off at Cornell and spending a few days there with him, I was pulled over just outside of Binghamton, NY going 92. Because my speedometer had recently started getting stuck, I told the office that was why I was going so fast (in addition to driving down a hill). I got off with a broken speedometer citation--and the opportunity to get it fixed in 48 hours without having to pay the ticket.
More recently, I was driving back from UVa for a quick weekend stay at home. I was pulled for going 80, and the officer said he wasn't going to give me a ticket because I had a clean record, and I wasn't driving recklessly (81 is reckless according to him).
I'm pretty damn lucky, but paranoid about that changing. Now I tend to drive 70-75 MPH when on the interstate.
