> Now I wonder how that works with speeding. Will they yank you for going 86 or will there be a 10-15mph grace zone like there is here. Because being able to drive 95-100 mph without being ticketed would be awesome except on my gas bill.

Is that actually what the zone a cop will not write a ticket for on the highways in NY?

I always thought it was 10% of the speed limit, so theoretically round up to 7 mph at 65 mph, ensuring you would not get a ticket for going 72 but might get one for going 73. I forgot where I heard or read that but I always believed it to be true and will normally set the cruise control at 72 mph on the NYS Thruway to avoid being ticketed.
