I don't see how that can hold up in court. According to the almighty Wikipedia:

"A road speed limit is the maximum speed as allowed by law for road vehicles. Speed limits are commonly set and enforced by the legislative bodies of nations or provincial governments, such as countries within the world."

What's worse is that him pulling you over lowered your FE for the tank! That's acceleration you didn't need to do.
