Notice there is nothing about a posted speed limit.
In my case there was zero traffic an road conditions were perfect and I endangered nothing.

Your linked thread clearly shows you were cited for doing 62 in a 40 zone. There is no law on the books that allows you to legally exceed the posted (40mph) speed limit. Contesting legitimate citations and fighting stupid crap like this is why traffic fines are as high as they are.
