Err .. bull**** boi

You usually define "going too fast" as exceeding the posted speed
limit


Wrong as usual geof, exceeding the speed limit is going too fast.
If you can't work out the difference hard luck.


Ah, so if a road has had a speed limit of 50mph for 20 years and
they change it to 40mph, was everyone who was travelling at 50mph
before travelling too fast?

What a stupid question.


Ah. so a question is stupid if it raises a valid issue and you can't
answer it without looking like a dribbling idiot?

The only issue it raises is why are some people really, really stupid.

Its at the same level as: if they install a set of lights at a junction,
does it mean its still OK to drive through if they are on red. Does it
mean half the people were offending last week?

Wiggle wiggle...

No, the question was not about the legality of the situation previously,
it was about whether faster than the current limit was "too fast"
previously.
