Court says Dragon speed limit is 65 mph

To summarize:
The posted speed limit on the dragon (in Tennessee - not North Carolina) is wrong, and illegal. The legal speed limit on US-129 is 65 mph.

In short this is because in Tennessee (like many other states) all roads - unless otherwise posted - are 65 mph. In order to legally post a lower speed limit requires a TDOT engineering survey and report of the road and traffic conditions. There is no TDOT engineering survey for US-129 in Blount County, therefore the speed limit is 65 mph.

So if you get a ticket for less than 65 mph, pay a local lawyer to fight it for you and it will get thrown out. But if you don't fight it, and you simply sign the "guilty" line, the court will be happy to take your money.
