Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / December 2006School Zone
Everyone is familiar with the school zone speed limits. 35 MPH (for example) normally, but possess 20 MPH "When Children Are Present". Obviously, when school is getting out at 3:00 PM and the kids are walking home, the speed limit is 20 MPH. But what about at 2:00 AM when some kid has just pried a CD player out of a parked car and happens to run along the road in front of a school?

It depends on the cop. Obey it and you're suspicious for driving abnormally slow... exceed it, and a cop could say you're speeding. Damn'd if you do, damn'd if you don't.

And of course while the driver is being fleeced, the real criminal gets away. God bless America.

Being out at 2:00 AM by itself would raise suspicion. > > > But what about at 2:00 AM when some kid has just pried a CD player out > > > of a parked car and happens to run along the road in front of a school?
