Whatever you choose to do, I would not recommend confronting him with only a water hose.

Get a remote control car, put a lifelike baby doll on it.

Drive it in front of the truck when he's hauling arse.

Then knuckle check his arse.

A few months ago there were a few evenings where this Tesla came flying by me and trying to swerve through traffic. The first time I saw him I was changing lanes and he came out of nowhere which initially spooked me, but left me pissed off. Two nights later he is doing the same thing again. This time I was able to follow him at his exit and drove behind him for 3 miles until he turned off into an apartment complex. I went home and found a hand sized round rock in the yard. I taped a note to it which said "The next time I see you flying on Hwy 280 a rock is going through your window." I placed the rock at the bottom of the windshield. I haven't seen him since.

Anyone going 60 down my street is going to get a personal visit.

Talk to him first and if there is no response/fricks given then proceed to the police. Film him a few times to share with the PD.

I have friends in every law enforcement agency pretty much and would have them all climb up his arse.

Most likely, he will tell you to frick off.

Will have to involve law enforcement if you actually want anything done

I live in a neighborhood that assholes use as a cut through to avoid traffic on a main road in my city. I did once throw my hands up as a dude was clearly driving about 50 mph down my street (25 mph speed limit). This douche put his truck in reverse to ask me if I had a problem. I just told him the speed limit was 25, to which he lied and said he was only doing 25. I just said "okay", and he asked if we were good and then drove away. Total douchebag.

Anyway, I went through the process of having a traffic study done for my street in order to get speed bumps installed. We still have douches that will speed up as soon as the pass the speed bumps, but I'd like to think that it deterred some people from driving down our street.

Several people in my neighborhood fly down our street but nowhere close to that speed. Idiots sometimes blow right through stop signs also

I have never had to complain to someone about their speeding in my neighborhood, but I did have to confront a lady over, allowing her two giant golden retrievers to crap on my lawn repeatedly. That went well.

I had a similar issue. People driving 50-60 on a 25 mph street. My son almost got hit by an a-hole why getting the mail. I had the local PD come out and run traffic in the evening. Slowed them down for a bit.

B.) Call the police and ask them to patrol around the time he leaves every evening. They do a decent job of patrolling the neighborhood, but there's only so much they can see and do.


We have some idiots that live at the end of our road that do this as well. We live down a country road so there is hardly any police presence. The posted limit is 35. Every few months myself or my neighbor will call the local sheriff substation to request a patrol unit.

They will send one out and and it stops the nonsense for a while. There are kids in the neighborhood along with pets. The guys doing the speeding are coming down the road usually around 55 to 70 mph. I'd hate to think what would happen if they hit one of those kids.

There is also a lot of nursery workers turning off and on the road around me. All it takes is one of the numbskulls t-boning a trailer to make a real bad situation.

No but I've had old people motion to me to slow down when I actually was going under the speed limit.

Our street is a cut through to a local high school. And the kids drive like a bat out of hell in a 25 mph zone as well as many adults. I contacted our city council member and the next week they were radaring on our street. Pulling people over left and right.

My son came home from school and said a friend was bitching about getting a ticket on our street. I told him just don't tell him I was the one who got the cops out there.

I've done it once in our neighborhood, just did a politely slow down gesture and mouthed "slow down". Guy saw me and slowed down.

Another time, we were hanging out with a former group of friends. Real blue collar guys, who were a little trashy and rough around the edges. All of our kids were playing outside one of the baw's house, riding bikes, etc. when a car came flying around the corner, tires screeching. About 3 of the baws proceeded to throw beer cans at the car, with a few connecting. The car sped off and I no longer hang out with that group.

This is the best response. Non confrontational, but they now know you know where they live.
