You can definitely be convicted of one, though!

Lol thought experiment. Your driving in a new area and don't see a change in speed limit because a large truck blocked your view of the sign as you passed it. You get pulled over a short period later for going 20 above the speed limit. Do you think you can be fined or not? Should you be fined or not?

You can be fined, the fine might be reversible in court, you shouldn't be fined.

The cop should just give you a warning.
