It's a habit that is spreading, obviously.I see where you're coming from. The speed limit is 55 but everyone goes 65 therefore the speed limit posted on the sign is all but meaningless. Fair point.
I'm talking about my opinion, not the law. My opinion is if people are doing this, than anyone can do it. That doesn't mean it's my opinion that everyone should be doing it, either.
But just because everyone gets away with going 10mph over the speed limit in some places doesn't mean you'll get away with it everywhere. And just because everyone got away with it on a certain road for years doesn't mean the cops can't crack down on that road next week and get everyone to slow down.
Certain things make it seem like society is going to hell in a hand basket but all is not lost IMO.
Sure, but people are going to try to get away with it.
