I hate when lawyers use this line. It has to be the most useless and impractical piece of advice ever.
Why should it need clarification? The meaning is glaringly obvious if you don't assume "or" means "and", "yes" means "no", and "up" means "down".
Although you might note that they simply said "posted speed" rather than "posted speed limit". I don't know that this was deliberate, but I find it interesting since many states use the term "speed limit" to refer to the upper limit of speed without distinguishing it from the lower limit of speed.
...and, yes, MO does have minimum speed limits (the minimum speed limit on MO highways is apparently 40mph).
Ahh yes----so we should just give off the cuff free legal advice about a statute we read once, in a jurisdiction in which we are not licensed to practice, to complete strangers, and then if we turn out to be wrong, not be surprised when we get sued for malpractice or unlicensed practice of law.
Free legal advice is worth exactly what you pay for it.
