She was driving exactly on the speed limit, ignoring the driver behind who was tail-gating and flashing his lights, obviously annoyed.

She wound down her window, attached red and blue flashing police lights, and sounded the siren. Unmarked police car. Fines: "Intimidatory driving, body part outside vehicle, obscenity, and speeding."
She smiled. He didn't.
