Hmmm, I disagree, Chuck.  You drive at your speed limit and you'll be fine*.  
The only excuse for being caught speeding is that you did not know the limit 
(as with changing limits on that stretch of road in Florida).  I was last 
caught speeding on a stretch of road where the limit went down to 50mph without 
my knowledge.  But then that was my fault for not noticing the signs.

I have no sympathy for speeders, myself included.  I have even less sympathy 
for people who slow for speed cameras, to well below the limit, then accelerate 
once past the camera.

* In the UK your speedometer is assumed to be accurate within 10% at 30mph.  I 
have taken this to mean 10% at 70mph as well . . .
