My entire premise is as you say. The only exception would be where you had to choose between obeying God or man. Since obeying the speed limit is not disobeying God, it is not one of those exceptions. Might better double check that Bible.
While we are on the Bible, I was under the impression that blasphemy was deliberate slander (MacArtur's definition). It seems that telling a lie about the size of your offering would not fit that definition. Does it seem odd to you that the same man who denied (lied about) Christ three times in one morning and was forgiven, would pronounce a death sentence on a couple of other liars ? Some things I will never understand!
