Cool then I will drive 90
Better make it 88. The feds mandate that they gotta give you 10% for speedometer error, etc. Then you'll be OK.
When I took drivers ed way back in the previous century, they told me there was no real speed limit anyway--that there was a clause in the law that said you must drive a "reasonable and prudent" speed. During a blinding rain storm that might be only 15 mph, but during a cool, clear day with minimal traffic it might be 150--if your car was built for it. Yeah, they'd give you a ticket, but if you could convince the judge that it was a reasonable and prudent speed given the road and traffic and weather conditions--and maybe that you weren't all that drunk--then the law allowed you to drive that fast on the way to the cave. Now that we've made it into the '80s, my question is: Is that still the way the law is written, enforced, and interpreted?
