Suave, I hear you. I understand what you are saying. They are making a point about the absurdity of the law, and they did not do anything dangerous (besides the whole cell phone thing). The situation that they created, and knew in advance that they would create, on purpose, was to bottle-neck traffic.
That situation was the definition of dangerous. Raised tempers, unsafe following distances, unnatural traffic flow, and other things that I am missing, I'm sure.
I am not going to pull out a dictionary quote of ethics, but I will say again that this was unethical behaviour. Unless of course changing the speed limit provided a safer environment for all, for ages to come. Then we get into moral relativism; I am going to disagree with that argument, since the guy was quoted talking solely about traffic tickets, and not anything about safety.
