Although those reasons are arbitrary. There is nothing dangerous, in and of itself, in driving a speed over what someone plastered on a sign. Likewise, there is nothing, in and of itself, safe about driving AT the speed posted on a sign.
Doing 90 on an empty interstate isn't a problem.
Doing 30 in a 45 zone can be a problem in some conditions.
The real problem is so few drivers with any driving skills, and those who are the least skilled are the most likely to be doing anything other than driving.
