LoganSnake - a logical fallacy, specifically a hasty generalization (aka leaping to a conclusion). You can't apply your friend's case to everyone who drives above the speed limit, because there are those out there for whom the initial statement holds true. Your friend who does 70 in a 40 zone is clearly not as bright as he thinks he is, but that's not to say that every person on the planet is an idiot.
