"Safe" has nothing to do with it...as that is just an opinion.
A lot better factor in what is 'safe,' is the vehicle being driven and the drivers skill.
6 mph over of say a 45 mph limit, is usually perfectly 'safe'...even by mediocre drivers.
That's why the % of exceeding the posted speed limit, is a much better indicator of the supposed 'allowance'...that some people think cops should automatically give them.
The OP was busted for exceeding the speed limit by a significant %...and should stop whining and pay it.
