What is the point of a maximum speed if “everybody is going over it anyway”?
Going 75 where you are only allowed to go 55 is the dangerous part, even if everyone is doing it.
In Belgium, they substract 6km/h from what they detect in case the machine makes a mistake. Nowhere are people allowed to go faster, let alone 15 mph faster. If they do they all get fined. And for good reason. They are endangering everybody around them.
I have heard that in America the police sometimes fine people for driving at the speed limit because they’re driving too slowly. It’s an absolute farce.
A law that everyone breaks is a law that the police can choose to prosecute anyone for, for any reason. A law that you can be prosecuted for not breaking means you can’t even escape being targeted.
Easy to avoid, rare, and don’t impact traffic greatly. And yes 15 mph is commonly the trigger point.

Welcome to North America, where the speed limit is more like the speed minimum.
