Comment on Stay under the speed limit, guys. It's not worth it.

So as I said, JUST as illegal, since it’s judgement calls in either situation.

There is a range of speeds that are legal to drive at on any given road. This range lies between the speed minimum and the speed limit. Speeds outside this range are broadly speaking a violation of traffic laws. A law that is not enforced does not stop being a law.

Laws that aren’t enforced can be fought as unfair when enforced.
Nice little imaginary world you’re living in there.

I don’t think it’s very likely that you could beat a traffic ticket based on “it’s unfair.” People do still get pulled over for going 5 over. People do not get pulled over for going 5 under, because going 5 under is explicitly legal. What even is this argument? You’re seriously going to draw a comparison to a genocide because I said speeding isn’t “just as legal” as driving within the legally proscribed range of speeds?
