If the reported speed of 38 mph is correct it does not appear to have been speeding, unless most of the reports have the location wrong, or the speed limit has changed in the last 9 months.

The nearest sign on the road it was on, for the direction it was traveling according to most reports, that it would have passed says that the speed limit is 45 mph [1]. That image is from July 2017.

For the other direction it is 35 mph [2].

If the reported location of not-Seattle is correct, then 38 in a 35 isn't speeding.

(disclaimer: I don't want to be defending Uber, I just don't see the need for the red herring)
