I don't think they were proud; their point was to demonstrate the absurdity of the 55 miles per hour speed limit relative to how fast folks actually want run on that road. If you abide by the limit out of respect for the law (or for fear of a ticket), you run the risk of getting creamed and actually present more of a danger than if you just pick-up the pace and go with the flow.

"Keep right except to pass" has got to be the most widely ignored road rule in all the land.
