Why not ?? He is breaking the law isn't he ?? This is why people get bitter about their tickets. 10 over on the highway is 75, yet most folks wouldn't get a ticket (generally).
Yet.....tack a couple more on to 75mph and ??. Do you ticket for the difference between 75mph and what the person was doing or is the ticket for the full amount ?? If you generally don't ticket for 10 over, I honestly think it's a little unfair to ticket someone for 15 over.
It is this inconsistency that really frustrates me.
And no, I'm not bitter about my last ticket, just very annoyed at myself for getting caught as I had seen troopers in that spot 2 or 3 times the previous week.
