You can say that, but there are practicalities here. Where I live, it is highly unusual for someone to be going the speed limit on the freeway. It is completely unfeasible for cops to try to do anything to curtail that on an individual basis, so only the people doing truly dangerous things tend to get pulled over. I just play zebra and enjoy blending into all the other people going 15 over.

It’s actually very easy to do and some municipalities actually invest the traffic enforcement time in doing so. The police simply need to ramp up enforcement. Bring a half dozen squad cars and pull over anyone going over the posted speed during rush hour and repeat this a few times and the visibility of multiple cars being pulled over at a time slows traffic down pretty immediately

If you’re going 15 over then you’re going 15 over. Doesn’t matter if others are doing the same thing, you’ve joined into the unsafe, financially irresponsible and illegal behavior
