I've been pulled over twice, both for going 14 over (these were areas where the speed limit suddenly decreased dramatically, and I guess I just didn't slow down fast enough). Both times, they let me go with a warning, so I've been lucky. I go 5 and 10 over all the time (5 in a town, 10 on a highway) and I've never been pulled for that, even if I passed a cop!
My bf has an aggravating speeding ticket story... he was seriously being tailgated in a 55, so I guess without realizing it he sped up from 60 to 74. Well the tailgater finally goes flying past him, at what had to be AT LEAST 80, and my bf is the one that gets pulled over, right after the guy passes him! The cop walks up and says, "Hey, did you know that guy?" So obviously he knew the other dude was going at least 25 over, but he pulled my bf over!
