[QUOTE="SomethingSomeoneBlahBlah, post: 320855, member: 8735"] Y'know, it's this kind of Internet Tough Guy attitude that both irritates me and makes me laugh. The threat here is pretty blatant - you'd take "action" against somebody driving through your neighborhood too fast? What kind of action? Would you go run them down, yell at them, start a fight? At 82 in a 35, you're probably not getting plates, so your comment suggests a 'hit 'em with a bat' kind of mentality. Are you telling us you've *never* sped through a residential? And that if you did, you would want somebody to "take some sort of action" against you? :angry2: Or did you just mean "call the police"? Furthermore, what is "the right time and place"? You can make the argument that there is no such place outside an honest-to-goodness racetrack. Other hazards such as traffic, deer, weather, irregular road surfaces, etc. make any road a potential danger. 82 in a 35 seems a bit extreme for a residential, yes, but since you admit to speeding, you have committed the same crime, just in somebody else's " 'hood". Maybe the locals where you speed should "take some sort of action" since you banzai through their 'hood. [/QUOTE]
