Point taken.
Still, if the limit was 70 and you got pulled over for 75, that's a bit of BS. Most cops give you 10 over.

When I was younger and didn't know any better I pulled out the ole "The guy in front of me what doing well over 100."
The trooper then asked me if I had ever been duck hunting. He said you never shoot the one in the front. Always start with the one in the back. He then laughed and said you were going slower and easier to catch.
Since then I've learned that no respectable person pulls out the "everyone else is doing it." If you're you're in the wrong, you're in the wrong; doesn't matter if everyone else is doing it. Accept your punishment, make corrections and move on with life.
