^ That. I ride so slow on the highway I literally get pass by mini vans because I also use the 5~8 mph rule.

I was once told that NYS actually lose money if they have to process a $90 speeding ticket (anything 10mph or below). Highway cops/troopers don’t even blink if you are cruising no more than 10+mph over the speed limit.

The real money maker is the low speed stuff in the city where they can prey on the old, the weak and the women who drives along at the insane speed of 41 on a 30mph zone. An instant $180 ticket and zero risk to them.
