    I think of it like the speed limit while driving.

    You are supposed to drive the speed LIMIT as a maximum.

    If you drive 5 miles over it? Nobody really cares. You won't get pulled over unless you are drunk or hit a child or do something stupid.

    If you drive 30 miles over it? You are probably going to get pulled over.

    But both of those are still driving over the speed limit, which is technically illegal.

    I drive 5-10 miles over all the time and I've never been pulled over for speeding. I know plenty of people (including my spouse) who went 30 miles over and paid dearly for it in the form of a hefty fine.

    I know I'm still breaking the law. If I asked a police officer, they would tell me I am breaking the law.

    So ALL THIRD PARTY TOOLS ARE AGAINST TOS is their stance, and most people will respect that. And hopefully, most of us will stick to only driving 5-10 miles over the speed limit without hitting pedestrians along the way.

    In this case, the graphics showed the predictive AOE patterns in DSR. That was going 30 miles over the speed limit, while filming it for the cops to see.

    Except the people who got banned were not using those, they were using the 5 MPH mods like ACT. If were going to continue this analogy, it's like SE threw the 5 MPH people in prison in the hope it would stop the 30 MPH people in the process. Except it won't because they aren't dumb enough to get caught.

    Maximum highway speed limit here is 110kmh, police actively book pretty much everyone doing more than 2 or 4 kmh over.

    You r stated 17kmh over, pretty close to 130kmh that puts you well and truly into ticket territory. $363 fine and 3 demerit points. Just a few kmh more (25 kmh over to be exact) and you've passed into mandatory losing your license for 3 months.

    Even in built up areas, which is 50kmh here, your 17kmh over is pushing you almost up to 70kmh. That's an insane speed and a danger to kids and other road users!

    Your friends 50kmh excess here is a $1000 fine, and 12 months mandatory suspension, with possible impounding of the car and having it crushed.

    I'd focus less on how the numbers correlate and instead what your measure would be. The highway speed limit in the US is about 60 to 65 in a lot of places. These limits were set in like the 70s and have never really been adjusted. Average speed of traffic is usually between 70 to 85. That's why going 65 to 70 or even 80 isn't a big deal here and you're usually the one being a traffic obstruction if you go slower than that. The rules are still on the books so anyone going above could get caught in a speed trap, which does happen when cops need to fill their quotas. But usually the cops are also going the higher average speed because our speed limits are just set laughably low.

    And even then, that person going 90 that the poster you quoted described is probably just going to get a ticket unless they were also doing something else reckless. Tickets aren't cheap and there are things that can be done that get you points on your license or having it revoked. But not often a single speeding ticket.
