I was nice, both cops were a-holes getting their quota.

In reverse order...if you'd seen the kind of accidents they've had on that stretch of I70 from fools just letting the vehicles "run", you'd understand why they are strict about it. It's not just a speed trap, and naturally, when there's inclement weather, it's worse.
The "pissiest" speeding ticket I ever got was on the way back to Phoenix from skiing at Sunrise in the White Mountains. I had three passengers with me in a Datsun F-10 (a true speedster!) with skis on the roof-rack and rolled into one of the many towns that dot the route. Speed limit 35, I'm doing the needle's width over that. Pulled over and cited for 37 in a 35. I really couldn't believe it. It had nothing to do with the plate either, as I lived in Aridzona at the time, but more that he was a jerk cop full of "duty" (and doodie, too, no doubt).
