That's the problem, convenience isn't given enough respect. You're expected to take everything up the tailpipe. I don't argue that sometimes they only do what they can, but other times it seems as if they just don't care. At such times, one is pushed into looking out for one's self.
It's no more evil than actively and deliberately harassing someone on a technicality and using the law to rob them of their money.
LOL …
A mature adult "looking out for one's self" needs to just "man up" -- and shut up -- and either obey the law or pay the fines … Period.
OTOH, if some impatient jerk, however, feeling "pushed into looking out for one's self" speeds through a school zone, and runs over an innocent child, Mr./Ms "Looking Out for Self" may well be beaten to a bloody pulp by some angry parents …
(And of course, God forbid that any cops lurking nearby would intervene in the administration of citizens' justice … !!!)
But, hey, that's better than being five minutes late for an appointment, I guess, eh … ???
That cop is an example for the ones that lose their cool over minor things. Need more like him. I bet the cop that slammed James Blake wouldn't have been so nice.
I never understood why cars are supposed to slow down when the kids are supposed to be on SIDEWALKS, not in the road & cross at CROSSWALKS, not any random place.
I get it, driving at 25 mph or less greatly increases survivability in the event of a pedestrian collision, but why would that collision happen?! Sheesh! Just weird to me.
Because kids will do dumb things like suddenly run out in the street without looking.
In my state, for going that far over the limit in a school zone, her license would have been suspended, and her car towed. If she had been going 27-28 mph, and got a ticket, I could see her being pissed. At 51mph. she just doesn't give a damn, so why should the law give a damn about her?

I drive through two or three school zones every day and have never seen a child ever, but I see cops giving out tickets. The woman is an idiot for speeding and even more of an idiot for voicing her opinion openly.
I would consider my city driving style as non aggressive and somewhat defensive. But even I occasionally wish some drivers to crash and burn and that has included cops. However, in my mind only. If you have not, you are a much better person than I am and bless your hart.
