Would you accept that everyone in a community be sent a speeding ticket for prior behavior if a road's speed limit was reduced from 45MPH to 35MPH? In spirit, the first speed limit was set for a safety reason right? Clearly everyone disobeyed the spirit of that limit by going faster than 35MPH and necessitating the limit be reduced. Pay up.
