Agreed. Its the spirit of the law vs the letter of the law

A better example would be if this violation was during school holidays, where the odds of injuring someone in school district is diminished.

The spirit of the law doesn’t care why you are driving too fast, but when and where you are driving too fast.

The spirit of the law is to let people endanger kids by letting them speed in school zones?!
