Many people think this, but they are wrong. Have you checked your states statues? The truth is closer to:
the speed limit for that road is whatever is reasonable for the prevailing conditions NEVER to exceed the speed limit.
If you can show me in a statue that you are allowed to exceed the posted or statuary limit just because everyone else is which makes that the "prevailing conditions" I would appreciate it. I know I have checked Florida statutes.
