I respectfully disagree that driving 10mph below the speed limit is more unsafe than joining everyone else driving 10mph above the speed limit. My chances of surviving a fatal incident are dramatically reduced. I'd rather have an off chance of getting a ticket based on a handful of "test cases" of the interpretation of the law, then to join the abnormal flow of traffic driving 75mph in a 65mph zone. Doing that is simply advocating that speeding should be legal or is safe. Every argument against 10 under, can be used against 10 over.

Slow down. My philosophy for life also applies to the road.
