Got my first one in four years of driving this past Spring. Was going 47 in 30 after midnight coming home from hanging out with friends and didn't see a cop coming up in the oncoming lane due to the serpentine-like road through the local woods (read - no street lights).
On average, I do 5-10 over or depending on traffic. I go the speed limit in local areas that I know have speed traps. On the highway, I go as fast as traffic allows within the Chicago city limits and usually 80 once I'm out. The fastest I've ever gone while behind the wheel is 90, but I was in a car that was doing 122 once.
