No I disagree. Riding at higher levels of speed requires higher levels of concentration that would be negated by a cell phone conversation. Going "as fast as we want" could also be dangerous in certain situations.

Its "ok" to do 75 in a 60 on a straight 8 lane highway on a vehicle built for racing. There is a serious problem with speed limits being kept intentionally low so local PD and HPO can benefit monetarily off speed traps that are creating more of a safety hazard then they claim to be preventing. Meanwhile, more serious infractions like following too closely are going unenforced because you can't really call that one from your spot at the top of a bridge over a highway. But then again, following too closely doesn't generate big revenue.
I've been reading your posts for a third of my life Ed, I know you have a lot of trouble applying shades of grey to everyday events...so don't strain yourself too hard over this one.
