On Colorado highways, it’s now illegal to obey the speed limit and illegal not to.

In Colorado, the highest posted speed limit is 75 mph.  - theAspenbeat

Show me the person . . .

I can live with that, even though I think 85 mph might be better and perhaps just as safe.
This speed limit of 75 means that it’s against the law to go faster than that...
  • But now, Colorado has announced that if you go the 75-mph speed limit in the left lane, or even if you violate the speed limit by going 85 mph, and people stack up behind you who want to go 95, then you’re violating the law by impeding traffic. 
And you’ll be ticketed for it...
So, now we have two contradictory laws. 
  • The first sets the speed limit. 
  • The second requires you to violate the first...
