In your area of the world, do the drivers pick and choose which rules of the road to obey? That is, in your area of the world, can you choose to park in a handicapped spot when you are not handicapped? Can you park in a no parking zone - or block a fire hydrant? In your area of the world can drivers choose to drive through stop signs? In your area of the world can you disregard school bus stop signs? In your area of the world can you go around railroad crossings? If that is the case, then my hat's off to you! The folks in your area of the world are probably the best drivers in the world! You have the option to thumb your noses at the people who have set up the rules to help keep everyone safe. Because the people who set up the rules have given you the option to decide for yourself which rules to obey. I wish the drivers that I've seen over the years were as good as the drivers in your area of the world!

Yes. "my part of the world" is the same as any other and the difference between driving 60 or 70 isn't going to change anything.
You have taken things well well beyond exceeding the posted limit in your example.
