I have put on over 2 MILLION miles at speeds approx limit plus 8 mph. Hardly ever a problem. But, when its SAFE to speed, your the most vulnerable. Like your the only one on the road, 2 am in nowhere New Mexico or somewhere like it. The ONLY other car on the road is in the opposite direction. Turns on instant on about 50 feet in front of you., your screwed, period.
I have successfully traveled from Boston to San Diego with an AVERAGE speed, including all stops of 84 mph, the speed limit was 55 mph. What that means is that I was moving at over 120 mph as much as I could. NO tickets, but that was with a BMW 633CSI. I did the same trip with my M635, somewhat lower speeds, and got 3 tickets! That damn spoiler and racing stripe did it. But again at places where it was actually SAFE to drive fast!
Radar detectors are only good for you noting your speed when you go thru the speed tap. Never really helpful, but nice to know.
