No, just that many speed limits are set at arbitrarily low levels and are enforced in situations where there is no danger to other motorists. Additionally, as I posted previously, speed limits in the United States are lower than in most European countries even though our population densities are lower in most states, especially outside the Northeast. Europeans may be socialistic and agnostic, but they are not as big a group of micromanagers of peoples' lives as our bureaucrats are.

Many drivers in the U.S. are arbitrarily low level drivers, who, even though it rains month, after month, every summer, can’t figure out that it might be slick.
Who, even though they have the best in four wheel drive technology, run off the road and get stuck, or crash into trees, at the slighest hint of snow on the road.
The most ‘danger’ on the road is not the condition of the road itself, it is the other drivers.

Was that the issue in this case? Was that what Mr. Massey argued with the officer about?
Was that why Mr. Massey refused to sign the ticket?
(or was it because he was behind the police car, going through the 40mph zone, and figured he’d be OK???)
Or did Mr. Massey simply miss seeing two 40 mph signs, a loose gravel sign, the red flags on them, and the police car in front of him?
