I rarely speed for my daily commute. It's a combination of my own personal beliefs as well as the simple fact that, on local surface streets through the townships where I commute through, there's just too much enforcement.

The risk of a pull-over, of its inherently time-consuming nature (regardless of if a citation is awarded), means that the most speedy way to reach my commute/errand destinations, consistently, is to simply obey the PSL.

Thus, the chief reason why I have countermeasures is really mainly just because this is my hobby.

On the highway, it's a different story.

I typically fit the profile of the easygoing driver in the outside lane(s), who is usually no more than "below 10+" - this is particularly true when I have passengers in the car, or if I'm on a longer road-trip (again, the hassle/time-delay of a pull-over makes it just not worth it, to me, to go any faster, and start becoming "questionable" to most State Highway Patrol enforcement profiles).

Very, very rarely - I do venture above 15+.
