That is still illegal and you can be ticketed for it. That is my point. “Its OK to break the law if everyone else was doing it” is not a valid legal defense. The law states in every state I checked that no driver shall exceed the posted speed limit under any circumstances.
You’re right, you could. I never have been ticketed or in an accident. It’d be better if everyone followed the speed limit, but since that doesn’t happen I try to take the safest approach possible given the situation.
