Ethical? That's a tough call. If their local state trooper/highway patrol rigorously enforces this stretch of road, e.g. getting written for 59 in a 55, their point would have a much better foundation.
In fact, it might have proven their point better if they just went 5mph over the posted speed limit! I don't know that any cop would write *anyone* for 5mph over unless they comitted another offense.
Drawn out? Yes. I agree that a one-minute spot with the highlights would have had MUCH more impact!
The whole ethics argument intrigues me. They created the situation, and they can have a reasonable expectation of the *un-ethical* things that people will likely do in that situation. So who's worse? The guy passing in the breakdown lane was creating a serious risk for everyone involved. They were following the letter of the law that we collectively decided, but could have anticipated the consequences. Who's to judge?
