Of course, school zones would be a totally different ball game.

Right, but if they do decide to pull you over (I've personally never been pulled over for less than 11 over, and I virtually always set my cruise at 9 over), don't bother asking about the "cushion."

If you can't do the time (or pay the fine), don't do the crime.
