That makes sense. I remember hearing a story while I was out there of a race car driver that got ticketed doing like 130mph. His argument was that, for him, that was a reasonable and prudent speed. The State Trooper disagreed. :P

The story I heard was that at least in one case the driver was told that "reasonable and prudent" was not what you thought it was, but what Mom and Pop at the ice cream shop thought it was, because they're the ones that would sit on your jury should it ultimately go that far. :-)
