Apparently I am supposed to respond to Eric. I don't know why since I
don't think he is disagreeing with me and I don't disagree with him.
But here goes:
Eric Yost wrote:
"Traffic cops, all too aware of the double standard, set their radars at
75 mph(+) on 65mph roads. Drivers all know they are "legally" empowered
only to drive 65 mph, but they feel "practically" empowered to drive 5
or even 10 mph faster. Introduce video cameras into the situation, and
you are more likely to find adherence to 65 mph, because even though 75
mph is the REAL law of the interstate, transgression of the LEGAL law of
the road is not something one would want to [be] documented."
Apart from some discomfort with Eric's switch from "practically
empowered" to "REAL law", I think Eric is teasing out a distinction we
all make and must necessarily make.
