The myth emanates from the reality where few traffic cops will push a ticket through court that might be explainable by inaccuracy of equipment. Somehow they add the myth that you have to get out of the way for any faster car when you are in the inside (passing lane) of a school zone...
I have been told by a prospective employee (for a driving job/position) that "we" are allowed to travel 50% over the speed limit as long as we are going to pass someone... and that was why he could get our passengers to their destination in a faster manner... because there is always someone to pass.
(somehow I wasn't comfortable at the thought of him driving our vehicle at 150km/hr on deerfoot....)

Gah...wow. That's awesome. Yeah, those are some pretty pernicious myths. 50% faster. *snicker*
