I've been driving cars since 1996. I've done more >500-mile trips than I can count. The longest was ~2,000 miles (Lafayette, Indiana, through Michigan, all the way to Ottawa, Canada, and back). And of course plenty of 50-100 mile commutes.
Usually I cruise on highways around 80mph (regardless of speed zone, unless there's construction), sometimes spiking to 95-100, and always slowing in heavy traffic.
I've never been given a speeding ticket. I've never even been pulled over for speeding, only for slightly reckless driving (which the cop let me off easy for). And it's only been that one time.
And I've done that all without the assistance of a radar detector.
Then again, like Hal, I wouldn't be caught dead doing more than 5-10 mph over the limit on a street road, and even then only temporarily. So I only speed on interstates and to a lesser extent rural highways. I drive safe, regardless of what the law says.
