Anybody who gets a traffic ticket in NJ should use this NJ Supreme Court quote as a defense. Since nothing should be read literally you can interpret any law the way you want. You went 70 mph in a 55 mph zone? Well, 55 mph is only the literal way to read the sign. You interpreted it as meaning only 55 mph during school hours.

Speed limit signs and the constitution are suppose to do the same thing: set a limit. But if reading either the sign or the constitution and taking their meanings literally is misreading the sign or the constitution, the only right thing to do is gleam from the written word what makes you feel best. So, a 55 mph speed limit sign can be read to mean that as long as your current speed includes 55 mph, any speed beyond that has to be lawful. But then again, going 45 mph or lower is lawful too because you have not exceeded the limit imposed in the event you do not reach the posted speed. I think I could get a job in Jersey!

I may just try that! Maybe the prosecuter will just drop the charges to keep me from stating that in front of a courtroom full of people he wants to fleece! (My lawyer might have a problem with it, but I'm the one paying him.)
