Our driving lessons include off road recovery when weather permits. Parking, backing, identifying signal lights in advance and the crosswalk lights. We need to drive the basic speed law which is driving for what is safe for the existing conditions not the speed limit. It may be necessary to drive slower because of inclement weather, traffic crash, road construction, someone pulled off to the side of the road. If speeding up to get through an intersection you probably were not paying attention to stopped side traffic or how long the light was green or what the crosswalk light was doing, if it is there. Speeding 5 mph over the limit is not ok, since the ticket is still on the insurance trail.
