Really? Would hate to live in Chicago then, Iowa police are still pretty tolerant of the 'standard' 5 mph over. Driven past plenty of them doing 60 in a 55 etc and they didn't even twitch. And that's really not the best analogy, drunk driving gets people killed, and I've seen people that drive under or at the speed limit that are MUCH more dangerous than people doing 5 or 10 mph over.
