    Awesome advice. Besides getting out of speeding tickets, it seems to me a great way to contest unfair speed limits when you can't really get your foot in the court's door. If the police sets the court date for you and you know the law, you might have a good chance of changing things.

    Speed limits are arbitrary. Why is 65 safe and 85 not? Why stop at 65, they could just drop the speed limit to 12mph everywhere and no one would ever get hurt. You can argue that they save fuel, and maybe on a tractor trailer the difference is noticeable, but on every car I ever owned 55 and 85 got me the same gas mileage within a mile per gallon. Lets say I spend 8 hours a week driving (this is below average for me, my work makes me nomadic) and I average 10mph over the speed limit (probably about right). That's 80 miles extra. Lets say the average speed limit was 60mph, that's an hour and 20 minutes of my life that I am A: not on the road (where you ass holes can kill me), B: able to use for whatever I want (including, but not limited to, Stumbling) and C: WORTH THE MINUSCULE RISK INVOLVED! I know physics, reaction times, and stopping distances and adjust for my speed (And when I say "I know", I fucking know, I used to do track tests as my fucking job and I know how long it takes to stop your shitty Jeep Liberty from 60mph). I also know other road laws, like impeding traffic (aka driving in the left lane without passing) which I would wager has caused the majority of traffic collisions and is only enforced in a handful of states in New England. Take an experiment carried out on I-285 around Atlanta. The speed limit is 55mph and the road is generally 5 lanes wide. 5 cars got side by side and went 55mph (google it). It caused a major traffic jam and multiple accidents. An interstate that did not have a speed limit but ruthlessly enforced impeding traffic and passing on the right offenses would be safer than what we have now. In fact, they have a few just like that in Germany. In reality, it's all relative and, as I said before, arbitrary. A fighter pilot driving a miata at 105mph in a 55 is much safer than a suburban soccer mom in her SUV with horrible blind spots because she doesn't know how to set her mirrors correctly going 55 even if she wasn't on valume (which she is and you know it).

    Great. More ways for people to get out of speeding tickets.

    nI am no expert on the American legal system, nor its local and state laws, but wouldn't travelling under the speed limit be the easiest way to avoid a speeding ticket?

    From the page: "We all know speeding tickets are a pain in our collective asses, and they usually end up costing quite a bit of money"
