Unless they have a badge.  Come on Earl, you said you appreciated
honesty, how about demonstrating it.

Is your family doctor a pathologist?  If not, do you go to a
pathologist for advice on how to stay healthy?  If not, why not?

It isn't a question of being nice or not being nice.  It's just that
suddenly we are safe and law abiding drivers with a small change.  The
majority doesn't speed for the sake of speeding, as you seem to think.
We speed because speed limits are artificially low.

What do you think of Michigan's results with a 15 mph speed limit
increase?  A massive 1.5 mph in that oh so elusive and ever increasing
85th percentile target.
