This is really beginning to stray from the purpose of this group, but...

In some states, the law is written in a way such that exceeding
the speed limit is merely apparent evidence of unreasonable
or imprudent speed.  A driver can demonstrate that he/she is 
innocent by proving that his/her speed was reasonable and safe
with respect to road conditions, traffic, and visibility.
(Of course, that's something that may be difficult to do....)

These states (to the best of my knowledge) include:

AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, ID, MA, MI, MN, NH, OH, OR, RI, TX, and Utah.

and I'm just adding my two zlotys' worth to the pot....
