Can I go faster than the speed limit if the flow of traffic is faster than the speed limit?
Shelby from Coalinga, CA aks: Helloooo Big Jon, can you tell me if it's okay to speed if everyone else is speeding? Could I still get pulled over?
Shelby, no one has called me Big Jon in years. You had me at Heloooo. Anyhow, the simple answer to your question is NO, you may not exceed the speed limit under any circumstance. So if everybody else is doing 70mph, but the posted speed is 65mph, then legally you must not exceed 65mph.
And could you still get a speeding ticket if everyone around you is speeding as well? Yes, you are still subject to the same speed laws and could be pulled over and given a traffic ticket.
Hope that helps!
Until next time Shelby from Coalinga, ease of the gas, make note of the posted speed limit, and stay ticket free!
