Going 30 caused him to go into total road rage, then he speeds off and was easily going 40.

I live in the area so I am impacted by this poorly planned roadway everyday. I would like to see 25 max speed limit, carts and cars share the road so at times traffic will only flow at 20, give the cart path to walkers and bicycles. Double speeding fines like in a construction zone.
The issue is not so much the speed limit IMO. This person would have done the same to you if the limit was 25, I suspect no matter the limit.

It is hard to enforce aggressive drivers for law enforcement I suspect. They cannot be everywhere at once. If the story is accurate, this person should have been in big trouble... but how do we (the law) catch them?
