60 MPH.

I definately slow down around there, 75 and I-4 always have the overzealous cops that wait for someone to speed so they can get ya and write you a ticket.

11 over in a construction zone? You deserved it.

Most of the construction zones on 75 or I-4 are 60 MPH, they usually have a sign up, there is no partial speed, its slow down or bored FHP or whoever will pull you over.

That sucks, just take it to court with a lawyer and get it thrown out for $100, just tell the judge they should construct faster, that way you won't have to slow down for no reason because you might hit a drunk migrant construction worker.

I do 80-90 on the interstate. All the time.

By the time I enter a construction zone I'm doing < 5 over the posted limit.



I have no sympathy for ya. Sorry.
