Some laws are universal, like your passing on a double line example. Night-time speed limit differences are not universal. Some roads drop the limit at night, but some do not. Not even all stretches of interstate highways have lower speed limits at night. It would be unreasonable to expect anyone, much less everyone, to know what roads do or do not have lower speed limits at night, if they are not posted.dihappy wrote:I wonder if there being a lower speed limit at "night" and it not being posted is no excuse.
I mean how many times have we heard: "Ignorance of the law is no excuse."?
Like other traffic laws, there are things we "should" know even if not posted correct?
Like passing on a double line, etc, etc.
That being said, it is not a defense to say, "I didn't see a sign" that was posted. You can be ignorant that the sign was there and be guilty.
