Never been pulled over by the FHP thankfully (been all over central and northern Florida by this point), but all I seem to remember about it is that (almost) everybody on the road kept the exact speed limit to a T. When I asked why that was, I was told that the highway patrol is ruthless about speeding. Being used to places where everyone habitually speeds (usually not by too much, though) that was an interesting 'cultural experience'.
In any case, it's not the speed that's the problem. It's going that much faster when everybody else in less-than-ideal weather and traffic conditions. If you're gonna risk other people's lives like that, you need a better reason than "I'm a cop you idiot!" (-A. Schwarzenegger)
