We have that law in California. Also, in California the posted speed limit
may be exceeded if it is safe to do so, considering things like weather,
visibility, traffic, etc. (If you get a ticket, though, you have the burden
of proof to show you were driving safely.) You can also get a ticket for
driving too fast, EVEN IF IT'S BELOW THE POSTED LIMIT. IOW, the law about
holding up a string of five or more cars does not attempt to deal with speed
limits, If five or more cars are held back by one car, it is reasonable to
assume that a higher speed would be reasonable and safe.
