A York based Honda dealership complied the data and broke it down into understandable bits. Interesting.

Meh, in a few years this will all be moot as your self-driving car decides what speed to go.

Last month I drove from Florida to Montana and believe there really are no more speed limits. Typical traffic in most state highways runs 10-15 MPH over the limit.

Towns may be the driving factor in these statistics.

Speeding tickets per miles driven would really be the interesting number.

Total number is worthless - of course Texas, New York and California are high - big populations.

Tickets per citizen is a little more interesting, but still doesn't tell the tale.

I think the missing data point is number of tickets per resident where an actual resident received the ticket and not a pass-through driver.

Case in point might be Arizona. The number of tickets per 10K residence is pretty high but we need to consider how many of those tickets went to California (and other states) residents who were passing through.

Another thing that will make the numbers off is the authorization of police to use speed measuring devices. For example, in Pennsylavia, only the state police are allowed to used RADAR, use of this device by municipal police is prohibited, they have to relyon other, more labor intensive ways. So, you can have a state like NJ where state and local police can use RADAR to stop speeders, which in theory could allow more vehicles to be stopped- more police looking for more speeders, compared to PA where there are roughly 4000 troopers covering the entire state using radar.

Looks like we're still hanging pretty low.

I'd guess the 70(78)MPH on highways and 80(88)MPH on the interstates makes a big difference. Not too many folks drive faster than that.

Inside city limits is where they nail you.

I was up in Thermopolis 2 weeks ago. I do like the 80 MPH limit. Even with a limit of 80, I have to do 85...

GA numbers have to reflect the massive amount of out of state traffic via I75 and I95 that travel through the state.

Plus it's probably a little retribution against the war of northern aggression and Shermans war crimes against proper humanity, which should have sent him to the Hague... Big Grin

You just don't go real fast there, stay under 10 over, I believe the fine doubles at 10+ over.

Same for NC/SC that have I-95 going through them, so any states with major interstate cross country routes are going to be at the top of the quantity list.

Yes, that would be a more telling metric. It would be interesting to see how a statistician could divine miles driven for a given locale. I bet it could be estimated somehow based on existing data, but maybe not available in all the locals in the study.

There are 85 limits ? Really ? I didn't know that. Sounds like the good old days.

80 on some stretches of interstate highway. 70 on some stretches of 2-lane, both state and U.S. highways.
