I think your wrong there. With so many lifestyle blocks, degrading of roads it would be wrong to assume all rural roads are 100k these days. There has been ample media coverage of many speed limit reductions.
Ignorance of a relevant law is no defence in court as our legal studies teacher used to love mentioning at high school and she was a former clerk of court herself.
Assuming you live in town you increase your speed from 50k when you see the 100k sign not when you think oh this looks rural.
I can’t think of any route I travel regularly where there are sign s every two minutes of travel.
Of note one of my routes to on work goes from 50k to 80k 200m before a t junction. Now following the stuff on the other page that 80k limit is illegal as it’s less than the specified minimum distance before the next seperate road. The cops could use this in reverse!
I would nearly pay to watch you debate this in court. Because unless it’s a road that youve never travelled before it would be nigh on impossible to claim you were speeding because you didn’t know the limit. And if it’s a road new to you then your failed to pay attention when entering.
Depending on your vehicle you may have satnav which auto alerts posted speed limits also.
Anyhow this is all irrelevant when in a few months Jacinda introduces MyDriver app which will sound alarms and auto fine you for speeding as part of road to zero.
