22350. No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.
高速路旁有最高限速,比如70等,今天叫的出租车,在高速上按标准限速行驶,结果,和所有同方向行驶的车渐行渐远,因为那些车都大概在开8,90,甚至更快速度。我没遇到过在高速上这样开车的,看了一阵后忍不住对司机说,不能开快点吗?答:我按规矩开,不管别人怎么开,我不想吃罚单。我说,那所有车都超速,怎么不怕被罚呢?我刚来的出租车和别的车就开差不多的速度啊,你开这么慢,我不得多付费了吗?司机说我有米表啊,付费和时间没关联,但随后他却又补充说速度和时间两者决定费用。结果我在这个出租车的服务下,同样距离给多付了十多刀。虽然应遵守交通法规,但我不希望再坐这司机的车了。到底是司机有问题,还是应该随大流才是正确的开车车速呢?
你不以为然就算了,还要来抱怨别人遵守规矩。可见人云亦云,没有主见。
因為不知道您人在哪裡,老貓就用加州的法律來解釋

DIVISION 11. RULES OF THE ROAD [21000 - 23336] ( Division 11 enacted by Stats. 1959, Ch. 3. )
CHAPTER 7. Speed Laws [22348 - 22431] ( Chapter 7 enacted by Stats. 1959, Ch. 3. )
ARTICLE 1. Generally [22348 - 22366] ( Heading of Article 1 amended by Stats. 1959, Ch. 11. )
22350.
No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.
所以, 70 英里的限速是一個官方認定的"合理速度",(reasonable speed) ;但是依據路況與和天候,駕駛人可以酌量增減車速。但是對於警方,只要你超過限速,就可以開單。 (但是當大家都開得快時,你不可能每一個都抓,所以只能抓那些開得特別快的。這就是為什麼,你看到大家都"開得很快"),但是這不是合理,只是抓不完。(老貓工作的州,照相開罰是依據限速,加上 11 mile 開罰),這就是開罰的"合理速度"的認定。)
但是,如果司機依照你的要求超速駕駛,如果肇事,你需要負責。(刑事與民事)
估计和网约车一样, 出租车的计费率也和你搭乘的时间段有关.
