Adultery is legal in Arkansas (I think it SHOULD be, but that’s not the

Or become a scofflaw and ignore it. Or rationalize rewriting the law for
yourself (sometimes known as pushing the limit to see if it really is a
limit): all posted speed limits are really five MPH faster than listed, or heck,
this road is a straight shot with plenty of visiblity and good conditions, make
that 10. Why not 15? Well, because at 5 over the limit, it’s extremely
unlikely that a cop will pull you over even if he has painted you from bumper to
bumper with radar. At 10 over, you can take your foot off the gas and quickly
get down to the five over safety zone (and there is usually someone doing 15
over that attracts more attention). At 15 over you gotta brake (and the cop
pounces as soon as he sees your brake lights come on) or do a really smooth
downshift equalizing your revs so that you don’t get nose dive (cop pounces).
Dubya thought he’d do 15 MPH over the limit. Watch for the brake lights to come
on. :-)
