Driving laws and regulations are a confusing thing. Why have them if they don't enforce them? Why post speed "limits" if it's perfectly okay to the cops to drive at 10 mph (or whatever the magic number is) over the "limit"? Maybe the signs should just say "suggested speed".
Actually in many (most?) states, rural speed “limits” are not actually limits but prima facia evidence of violating a basic speed rule. Simply put presumes that exceeding the number means you broke the law but other factors may change the outcome including weather and traffic conditions. Basic speed rule is by definition vague and up to interpretation, as it should be since one size does not fit all.
