Going even one mile over the speed limit should get you ticketed, amirite?

most, if not all vehicles are not exact on their speedometer. this is why there's 5 mph buffer. just getting slightly larger or slightly smaller tires will make your speedometer incorrect if it isnt properly reset

You're correct. 1mph is not realistic but I still think it should be enforced more.

I think 5 over is less egregious than texting while driving.

Yup. You're probably more likely to hurt someone while on your phone than if you were focused while going slightly faster than speed limits allow.

If I were to place a number above speeding that represents the risk of texting while driving. I would placing it closer to 30+mph over. Everything is harder to naturally pay attention too and certain signs could be missed while paying attention to the road.

I can safely drive faster than 30 mph over the limit on a highway. I cannot drive safely if I'm not looking at the road.

Bet you stick to the far left "fast" lane like glue too, don't you?

This asshole definitely sits in the left lane going exactly the limot and doesn't let people pass

Maybe you could defend why speeding is okay instead of creating a fan-fiction about OP to try and make them look bad.

You are proving my point exactly

Going 1 over the speed limit and getting a ticket is insane. What if you're going down hill in a 40, and because you're moving down hill the car speeds up you have to brake. You have to feel out how much you have to apply the brake in order to return to your desired speed. Most of the time you WILL go at least 1 over the limit.

Exactly this. Even cruise control lags behind downhill. I guess OP wants us slamming on the brakes every couple minutes.

For sure I exaggerated a lot with 1 mph that's definitely not realistic

Disrupting the flow of the traffic can also be deadly

I have a neighbor that lives a few doors down from me that exactly this. The slow driver that becomes a hazard because of their speed.

This would lead to people paying more attention to the speedometer and not the road or traffic. 1 or even 5mph will most likely not be the difference in life or death. I would wager distractions are the majority cause of accidents at any speed.
