Exactly. It's nonsense to have a law that says, "you can do X on your property unless someone, anyone objects". Imagine if other laws all worked that way. Oh, you can drive whatever speed you want, unless someone else on the road with you has a problem with it!

You can, however, drive any speed you want on your own property.
Not if your excessive speed is exacerbating my migraines and disrupting the sleep patterns of my cats.

Also, the dust thrown up by your excessive speed by vehicle is increasing particulate matter in the air, which may contain known carcinogenic compounds.

And yet, if you tried it, you might find this often not as true as you might think.
