I hate speed laws - they exist for one purpose and one only - money.
Because it's too difficult to legislate/enforce a "common sense" standard (like parts of Montana have) like "don't drive faster than what is reasonable given driver, vehicle, conditions, and road", they come up with these dumbed-down "catch-alls" just to make revenue off it.
I think most people know it's "unreasonable" to go 50 through a school zone or 120 on a highway unless it's very un-trafficked, straight, flat and you have a car built for it.
But to make that the rule would cost the states billions in B.S. enforcement and the insurance companies that buy the politicians would scream bloody murder since they wouldn't be able to extort more money from the average Joe anymore.
So we're stuck with the bull**** system we have. . . Unlikely to change anytime soon. Unless you go to Montana.
