My opinion will sound contrarian in this chorus of “it’s THE LAW!”. I disagree. As an engineer, I deal with standards, rules and regulations daily. And I tell ya, most if them can be and are challenged, reviewed and altered by authorities having jurisdiction when the situation warrants it. Same approach should apply to traffic violations. If the highway traffic on a good day is moving smoothly at 120/hr, ticketing someone for doing 122 is absurdly unwarranted. Yet weaving through lanes at 105 on a busy road and endangering other vehicles does deserve one. The OP’s situation as described did not warrant a ticket. A warning, at the most.
