I have a renewed appreciation for the FHP guys in Madison county, FL after reading through this thread.  As former FHP you’re welcome. In college I had a buddy who had moved to West Palm Beach. I’d go and visit for spring break and again at least once in summer, largely for the fishing. I had an ‘88 Jeep Cherokee at the time and lead foot if I was traveling. The speedometer only went to 85 but, through trial and error, I knew the vehicle was governed at 115. Anyhow, I was making exceptional time and just as I was about to hit that long treeline in the median there, I spot the two-tone and bar lights coming westbound and feathered the brakes a bit. The lights came on after about 2 seconds and down into the ditch they came. I was already pulling over by the time he was back on the eastbound pavement. He was pleasant enough. The usual where are headed, do you know how fast you were going. I answered “104 maybe.” “I clocked you at 98” he said. We talked about all the fishing gear and such. He came back with my info and said “I’m issuing a citation for 90 in a 70”. I told him there was no need to do that. If I was going 98 to just write 98 and he let me know that 25+ mph over was an immediate arrest in FL. I said a little white lie never hurt nobody. I drove back through there a week later and kept her at 84 all the way through Madison county.
