The argument is not that the law isn’t technically followable. The argument is that the law is not based on safety and is capricious and designed to catch and fine people, which could justify ways of avoiding getting caught.


The argument from OP was:

> the odds you get a ticket from a hidden camera are very low if you just respect the speed limits

And the comment I was responding to was about how speed limits are unreasonable. So I maintain that the comment did not refute OP's point. The reasonableness of the speed limits is irrelevant to whether or not you get fewer tickets when you drive below the posted speed limit.


This is the driving equivalent of "just follow instructions"; you're ignoring that they are intentionally making the speed limits difficult to respect in order so that they can ticket you. Telling people not to get tricked is just victim blaming.


Won't someone think of the overconfident and dangerous idiots who think they are race drivers


Does that characterize everyone transitioning rapidly from 65 to 35 back and forth?
