If a law clearly violated our constitutional rights it would be a citizen's obligation to disobey it.

If I had a friend or family member that was suddenly placed in the hospital I would deliberately disobey the speed limit to get to the hospital!

If you don't believe the Law/rule is a fair one. Civil Disobiedience is when you purposely disobey a law and are willing to accept the punishment. You would do that to bring attention to the law.

First and foremost, you have to ask yourself whether the law actually makes any sense, and whether it will prevent you from causing objective harm to another person. If you can answer "no" to both of those questions, you've got no good reason to obey that law unless you just feel like it.
There are plenty of bad laws out there.

I laugh at the answers here. No matter how pious and how 'just' all of these people think they are, they probably break the law each and every day. Speeding. People break the law because of greed and idiocy. They think they are above it or that they know better. Christian, Jewish, Muslim, chances are they have all broken the law at one time or another.
Speeding certainly doesn't protect their children, in fact, they risk them by speeding. Speed limits certainly aren't anti-religion. You don't need to tailgate and go 90 to understand the lord. Life & death instances rarely are reasons for speeding. Yet, most of you violate the law each and every day, simply because you feel like it.

If it were an unjust law, it would be my moral obligation to disobey it.

I agree with the life or death situation. I'm more than comfortable with living my life, even if I have to pay a fine or two...
