I wasn't, any of the times - I accelerate fairly (but not overly) quick from a standing start to the speed limit, at that has been enough to get stopped each time. Even *if* I accelerated hard until I hit the limit, at no time am I ever going any faster than a person driving within the limit, who didn't hit a red light/etc.
You have just defined "exhibition of speed" - At no point do you have to go over the speed limit to be cited for that; and then there is the basic speed law which says you can only drive at whatever speed is safe. If you are doing 25 in a 25 and everyone else is doing 10, you violated it.
