Are you going over the speed limit because you are in a hurry or because you just like going fast?
If you have a regular distination you go to (school, work, etc); time yourself going fast like you usually do a few times. Then time yourself going speed limit a few times. Note that the difference isn't worth it.

I just like to go fast. I don't even mean to speed most of the times, it just happens. Kinda like when you're tired and you hit the snooze button. You don't even think about it, its just automatic, and you know the consiquences. I've been slowing down a bit lately but its not enough.

I lost my license for 30 days earlier this year for speeding and it seemed like an eternity... Now my insurance is notably higher and it's going to be like that for a while. If you want to drive fast, get a bike. That way if you screw up and crash, the only person that will really get hurt is the person that deserves it for speeding in the first place.

I used to speed a lot too....but now I drive like an old women most of the time....I'm not sure why I can't find a good middle ground. :dunno:
Anyway as far as your question goes you have only two options:
1.) Pay attention and don't speed
or
2.) Stop driving.
It really is that simple... if your not willing to make a conscious effort to monitor your speeding than you shouldn't be behind the wheel.

I rarely look at the speedo anymore, only when I approch areas with lots of cops known, then I slow down to about 10 over. I average 15-25 over most times. I don't want to speed. I don't want to get pulled over or get a ticket, but I think that may be the only thing to stop me from speeding. In the past few weeks I've almost sent my car into a wall while making a corner at a high speed 2 times.
Any suggestions on how to stop this habit, other than don't drive, will power(I get distracted and my foot goes to the floor), and stupid crap like that?
