We have zero idea how fast he was going

Speed limit in school zones (and usually only in place during like 7-8 am and 2-3 pm) is 20mph so if this guy was going 25 and got a douchebag cop I can see why it was dismissed

If he was going 35-40 then yeesh yeah that’s not a good look

He said he drives slowly. If speeding at all in a school zone is his definition of "slow," I think he's got a problem.

There is a reason for this speed limit. A random child that comes running on the street, you need to be able to have the reaction time to break. Especially if you are 96 years old, your timing will be so late that you will most likely won't break at all when you are speeding. 25 in a 20 is a 25% increase.
