I've gotten two speeding tickets in my life. Both were during "Zero Tolerance" driving through Sacramento.
The first I got for doing 70 in a 65 zone. The second I got doing 75 in a 70 zone. Both were within 5 MPH, which I had erroneously assumed was within some sort of margin of error. Whenever I mention, people assure me that there is a margin of error, and that I must be mistaken, until I show them my speeding tickets.
I suppose Zero Tolerance means just that, regardless of any margin of error exceptions that my or may not be on the books.
I've heard from other people that some states have a 10 MPH margin of error. For me, it would appear, it's 0. So I drive the speed limit much to the annoyances of other drivers, but I am courteous and I pull over when I can to let people pass if there is no passing lane.
