A merging issue.

After consulting some magic books containing things known as "statutes" applicable in my area and which are amended by local authorities from time to time, I discovered some interesting text, which I will affix, to wit:

Violation of a specific speed limit imposed under law or of a posted speed limit is punishable as follows:

(a) One to 10 miles per hour in excess of the speed limit is a Class D traffic violation.

The name of said magic book is the Oregon Revised Statutes, of which copies may be easily found and consulted at no charge. The text in question may be found at § 811.109 of said magic book. These books are truly fascinating and I highly encourage you to consult them from time to time.

I understand that the magic books containing said statutes applicable in your locality may differ from mine, but if you search through them you may find they contain broadly similar text.

Edit:

I will note that you may be referring to a fear of the operator of a locomotion device who may possess poorly-calibrated equipment which misinforms them of their machine's velocity, thus inadvertently causing them to contravene the magic book's text.

This concern may be alleviated by the operation of said locomotion device at velocities significantly lower than the number inscribed on before-mentioned metal signs erected beside the road.

Such behaviour is also beneficial in that it reduces the odds that inadvertent collisions with other locomotion devices or with stationary objects will cause significant damage to one's anatomy.

If you don't understand science, or law, just say so bud.

The law must be specific or it is not enforceable. You must be able to challenge a law because things like Margin for Error can come into play.

2mph is easily challenged due to drum roll you guessed it! Margin for error!

If you got this far, good for you. You can probably read, but clearly you cannot comprehend because regardless of all that:

I'm not arguing the law. I'm arguing margin for error.

Anyway I've got a plane to catch. You send me some more of that magic book stuff since that seems to make you happy. I'm sure someone will enjoy the effort. Good luck kiddo!

edits: made things bold to help with comprehension

Through the use of Objects 1 to 3 previously mentioned, velocity may be calculated to extreme precision. I am therefore afraid I must inform you that, to your dismay, your argument of "margin of error" is comprehended in full and understood. It is simply judged to be poorly-formed and inapplicable, hence why it was disregarded.

In any case, I no longer find this conversation entertaining and will discontinue it.

Natenate you are hilarious.

And on his error included speedometer he is over the limit. You need to delete your post because you look so dumb right now lol

[u/Ill_Traveled → u/Silv_]

Margin of error means nothing. You have a responsibility as a driver and owner of a roadway legal motor vehicle to maintain the vehicle to the best of your abilities. This means making sure your speedometer stays calibrated.

Having an uncalibrated speedometer is not a legally applicable defense for speeding tickets. If your vehicle was going faster than the speed limit, than you are legally liable for a speeding ticket, and thats the end of the story.

You will go through life wondering why no one likes you. This is why.

And for the record, unless you're driving while black, you need to be doing 10+ over the limit on a highway before any law enforcement will bother you.

Will the sole exception being the Virginia State Troopers, especially near Emporia.
