Speed limits
A driver is ticketed for going 3 mph over the posted limit on a Florida road. Is this a valid citation?
- No, officers must allow a 10 mph cushion
- No, only 5 mph over is enforceable
- Yes, any amount over the posted limit can be cited
Show answer and explanation
Yes, any amount over the posted limit can be cited. The Florida handbook explicitly debunks the idea of a speeding buffer; drivers can be cited for exceeding the limit by any amount.
