I was once stopped for speeding while traveling with the flow, and the excuse that I was just driving the same speed as everyone else didn't cut it with the officer. He gave me the old, "If everyone else is driving off a cliff, would you do that too?"

Funny thing about that word "Limit". Everywhere I've been, the legal definition seems to be identical with the dictionary definition.
