Ok MD, what jurisdiction? Need more detail I'm on the road 2 hours a day.
I always thought the cushion was 5 mph. I got pulled over outside of Little Rock for going 75 in a 70. Wound up with a written warning, but I couldn't believe I was pulled over for that.

LSP issued a notice back a few weeks ago. Supposedly, this past weekend was the first weekend for the new enforcement. The local agencies usually key off of the State Police so they'll all be out trying to make an extra buck.
I thought the cushion was determined by different cities/Parishes/Counties. I do 4 over now, since I got a ticket for 6 over a month ago in a little town in Texas. I hate when it is 70 and you are coming up to a 60 limit and slowing down. I was at 66 and slowing right as I hit the sign - lights came on behind me.
In today's NS.
It's being pushed by grants from Highway Commission to local agencies.

I always run +7 in LA and TX, and never have a problem. I drive from Ruston to DFW every 2 weeks.
I drive five days a week,north,south and west. Soonerdawg has the three d's right. I don't think there is a safe place to test the cushion anymore. It depends to much on what day you catch them and how bad they need cash.
It's weird......our speed limits are about the same today as they were in the 1950's. Never mind the fact that today's roads and highways are much better, the vehicles we drive are much safer, and the safety equipment we use (seat belts, airbags, etc.....) are 100 times better than what we had in the 1950's. Go figure.

Yeah, but all the drivers born after the 1950s just don't have a clue, HD.

Drove over 600 miles into west Texas yesterday...
Do people who spend 50K for a vehicle realize they have a cruise control?
I'm beginning to agree with the no cell phone while driving deal.
I agree with you. I spend two hours a day on I-20 and I can't figure out why the jackass passes me and a couple of miles down the road I have to pass him. Then there's the jackasses who speed up when you try to pass them like it's some sort of race. I won't even get in to my opinion on most "Professional" truck drivers.
