Rangers484,
I suspected that the law was too vague to last. :banghead:
In Germany, many parts of the Autobahn and some rural secondary roads have no speed restrictions, but the police are not put in the position to judge what is "Too Fast"...They leave that up to the driver, but oddly enough most people do not go much faster than about 75-80 MPH, and slower if there is rain, snow or ice.
US Speed limits are supposed to be based on the average speed of the 85% of drivers. Road surveys are supposed to be done by engineers and the surveys are not supposed to be biased by local politicans. Many speeding tickets can be beaten because of an outdated survey, improperly conducted survey, or a lack of a road survey, or the survey was not approved by an engineer.
In some cases, local officials illegally set their own speed limits artificially low that they know most people will exceed or not notice signs that reduce the speed limit for the purposes of enhansing their revenue....these are called Speed Traps....:angry:
