Actually, I believe it's the opposite. You are innocent unless proven guilty otherwise in court, and I think that's part of the Miranda Rights. I'm not sure.

But in the norhteast, my parents told me the police really don't mind if you drive 5-10 mph over the limit.

haha have you ever been to court? the american justice system isnt exactly what its supposed to be. i have been a couple times and its DEFINATELY guilty until proven innocent. miranda rights dont mean dick in a court of law. you have to plead for your innocence. and if you dont have a lawyer whos friends w/ the judge youre basically screwed and youll get what youre tried for.

as far as the 5-10 over thing... most cops wont care about 5 mph over.. but there are definately a few asshole cops who will write a ticket in a heartbeat for 10 over.

Ahh yes another person who agrees with me that the american court system is corrupted and it is very true that your guilty until proven innocent. and i believe most people will agree with me they teach you in school that it is the other way around then you go through the court system and see how it really is

65mph in a 50mph zone = 2 points on the license for 3 years plus €80

It wouldnt have matter if I was doing 55 in a 50 its still the same penalty here. If you fight it and lose then you get 4 points plus the fine plus court costs.

I am not 100% sure but when you start doing crazy speeds like 100 in a 40 or 50 they just take your license. Also there has always been talk about a 10% allowance for speeding like getting away with 44 in a 40. Dont personally believe it to be honest.
