I do it, you do it, a lot of people do it, but don't try to justify it by saying that you were going with the flow of traffic and that to do otherwise would be creating a hazard. I'm sure if you were driving 55 on the highway where the speed limit was 55 then you would not be ticketed for causing a hazard.

if your speed was causing a hazard then yes, according to my law enforcement friends when I was living in CA. It also explains why some states have MIN speed posted signage as well.
I did not say carte blanche, but that there is also another viewpoint that could be construed as correct in some situations.
