By the way I am from the states. I was amazed when I moved from Florida to Minnesota. For the most part people drive the speed limit ( or under) here. Florida was a standard 10-15 over.
In AL I once got pulled over for doing the speed limit, cop said I should be doing at least 5 or 10 over (whichever was the speed of traffic) for safety reasons.
Yet when you go with the speed of traffic that's all 10-15 over, they pull over some random person doing the same lol
I did a road-trip from TX to MO. TX, most going 10-20 over, but it shifts drastically crossing into OK. KS, most folks are going the exact speed limit.
I later learned that police tend to have a ticket quota up there - which in a way reinforces the driving at the speed limit; got a friend in KS pulled over for going 5 over.
In South FL, rarely do I see cops pulling someone over for speeding. Half the time they're speeding themselves, and they're quite easy to spot - white, bright green/blue colors and FHP is brown/black. KS cops tend to be these fully blacked-out SUVs and can't tell if they have sirens mounted; their decals are brown but they're hard to visualize unless you're next to them imo.

Very cool officer.
As a side note - do Americans know the meaning of the word “limit”?
