Nice try, Einstein! This driver is desperately trying to outsmart the officer with some creative physics. When he claims his velocity was "-10 mph relative to the guy who overtook me," he's technically using the principle of relative motion correctly... just not in a way that will get him out of a ticket! 😂 In physics, relative velocity DOES matter - if you're in a train moving at 60mph and walk forward at 3mph, you're moving at 63mph relative to the ground. But the law doesn't care about your reference frame! The speed limit is measured relative to the road, not other speeding cars! The negative velocity is just a sneaky way of saying "I was going slower than the other guy" - which is probably true, but definitely not a get-out-of-ticket-free card!

Nothing says "I'm a physicist" like trying to talk your way out of a speeding ticket with relative motion arguments. Sure, technically he was going -10 mph compared to the other car... in his reference frame. Unfortunately for our Einstein wannabe, traffic laws operate in the reference frame of the road, where he was probably doing 85 in a 55. Next time try explaining quantum tunneling through the police barrier instead — works just as well!

Finally, a practical application of thermal expansion. This person just discovered they're not carrying extra mass—they're simply existing at a higher temperature state, causing their molecular structure to occupy more space. The perfect excuse backed by hard physics. Next time someone comments on your size, just tell them you're operating at a more energetic thermal equilibrium than most.
