I'm sorry Jason, but you should have understood what you posted prior to patting
yourself on the back.
ARS 28-701 is the simple statute of what constitutes responsible driving.
ARS 28-702 depicts at what points a CIVIL complaint turns into a CRIMINAL
complaint. To help you understand this, if you're approaching a school zone
which I believe is 15MPH in Arizona, if you're going over 35MPH on the immediate
approach and are caught you are criminally liable. Remember what I said about
20MPH over the posted speed limit in Nevada being a criminal offense? Well, take
a look at A.2. as you posted below.
It's now time for this, and I am truly sorry: ROTFLMOA

the truth is in black and white for ya, buddy.
ARS 28-701

is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances, conditions and actual and
potential hazards then existing. A person shall control the speed of a

other conveyance on, entering or adjacent to the highway in compliance with
legal requirements and the duty of all persons to exercise reasonable care
for the protection of others.
ARS 28-702 (Excessive Speed Statute)
A. A person shall not:
1. Exceed thirty-five miles per hour approaching a school crossing.

more than twenty miles per hour, or if no speed limit is posted, exceed
