Well yeah, I'm assuming ideal conditions as well. Obviously if it's pouring rain or super-foggy I'm not going to be going 75, either. All I'm saying is, under ideal conditions, the "you can go about 10 miles above the speed limit safely" rule of thumb is almost universally true (again, not including some residential neighborhoods, where you really do want to stick to 25; also obviously not including parking lots, etc.), to the extent that going the speed limit might well get you honked at, and will certainly annoy people. If it's *actually* unsafe to drive that speed due to road and/or weather conditions, that's a completely different thing.
