So is driving 56 mph in a 55. But I am sure you have never done that.
Hypocracy at it's finest.

Depends on the state. Most states give you 10% leeway for differences in
speedometer calibration. Oregon doesn't have speed limits in most places,
opting for a less strictly enforced posted speed (difference is the posted
speed signs say SPEED, whereas hard limits say SPEED LIMIT). In either
case, if conditions are bad, you can get a speeding ticket for going slower
than the posted speed (ie, doing 50 in a 60 zone on ice).
