To add to the 'young asshat' conversation I might have to add that the only offenders worse than the 'young asshat driving a pimped out Honda' is the middleaged man driving his male menopause vehicle. This group of people is far worse because A) They're driving a hot car and no one buys a hot car to drive within the speed limit B) They can afford the speeding ticket should it happen C) If they get a few speeding tickets then their insurance would only increase to the level of a safe 22 year old driver and they still have an easier time affording that too. and most important of all D) The reason why they have a male menopause car in the first place is a silly attempt at recapturing some sense of self satisfaction not recieved in any other component of their life. Speeding by other people in their hot car somehow gives them an arena where they can feel better than other people.

Agreed 100%. I dunno about some people, but when I was 16... my car wasn't exactly slow, but I sure as hell could not pull some of the things these 40-somethings can and do in their Porsche/BMW/Mustang GT/Mercedes/Viper/Fully Loaded GMC etc... physically or psychologically. Screwing up was something I could ill afford. Photo Radar tickets come out of petty cash for the guy in the $50k+ car, and their insurance goes up marginally for every offense ticket.
