Very few jurisdictions ticket for less than 10 MPH over. Some rich prick in
a fancy convertible was driving about 30 in a 30, in the left lane. There
was another car going 30 in the right lane. He did this for several miles,
while it was obvious that I (and others) wanted to pass. I ended up next to
him (on the right) at a stoplight, and I told him off in front of his
children.

Topics related to his manhood were addressed. I was angry, and went for
maximum punishment/deterrence.
