Default Speed Warnings

Several posters have expressed concern about the possibility of getting a ticket for going one or two mph over the posted speed. This should not happen. FL law requires giving warning tickets for speed less than 5mph over the limit except in school zones.

One person asked why people with LSV's (and I am one of them) do not drive on the road as they are allowed to do. I do not drive my LSV on the on El Camino Real and Buena Vista because I feel by doing so I expose others as well as myself to needless and inconsiderate risk. For this same reason I do not drive 45mph on the Interstate although it is perfectly legal. I know others may not agree, but believe that legal justification should never replace common sense and courtesy.
