Yes you can, Earl, both ways. In some situations, you could be both exceeding 
the speed limit and driving too fast for the conditions. In other situations, 
you can be driving below the speed limit, but driving too fast for the 
conditions. Exceeding the speed limit is not a necessary condition for driving 
too fast for the conditions. OTOH, driving too fast for conditions need not 
entail exceeding the speed limit. Sounds like a divorce to me:)
