A 12 Wheel Straight truck (running a tag axle) can weigh 77,000 pounds and he and I have the same speed limit. In what world is that logical. So yes I side with someone who gets a ticket for 5-20 MPH over the speed limit depending on the road conditions and the traffic conditions. We have the technology to put signs up telling us there is a construction zone and the speeding fines are doubled. Yet we cant change highway speed signs to digital so that the speed limits can be adjusted to the conditions.
I my self stay 5-7 MPH over because that is what you can usually get away with around my area with out getting a ticket. But I understand the frustration of a people who get a ticket when they are going with the flow of traffic at a reasonable speed for the conditions.

The signs in Florida (at least through Orlando) ARE digital and change according to road conditions.
Again, if you get pulled over for speeding, it's your own damn fault.
