Also state laws determine the speed on the road I was on, I think the speed limit is good for most conditions, but it could be variable and be higher with less traffic and dry conditions, but like I can really get that to happen by myself.




The speed limit is variable on driving conditions.

The posted speed limit you see is what you're allowed to drive in low traffic, dry, day-time conditions.

It is at the officer's discretion to ticket you if conditions change substantially and he deems your driving too quickly.

You won't get pulled over for this often because a Cop doesn't want to deal with proving his case in Court. It usually comes up in accident cases, in which case driving 60 in a 65 can get you a ticket if it was absolutely pouring rain outside and you were involved in an accident.

For your benefit, I have pulled Georgia's law on this:

Quote:

No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard for the actual and potential hazards than existing.



This law -- called the Basic Speed Rule -- takes precedence over all the other laws governing speed limits.
