I like my perfect driving record so I went 1 mph under the limit and everyone passed me and looked at me like i was an idiot.

How much over the limit do you have to go before they nail you?

I'm all for obeying the law, but this is too much even for me.
Yeah, they are set to trip at 11 mph over. Most folks with out-of-state plates don't worry about it, as they are civil matters. If you don't reply or pay the fine, a process server will try and contact you 3 times within 120 days. After that, it disappears. They are not going to send a process server to Cali for a camera ticket. Even if you are 40+ over the limit (criminal speed), it is still not a criminally punishable offense as long as the only thing that caught you was the camera.

P.S. Next time you are passing through, give a few of us locals a shout!
