re: Have you ever had to confront anyone over speeding through your neighborhood?

Be prepared for the police to do absolutely nothing about it. I live on the same street as the mayor and a state trooper and as soon as people turn down our road, it's like Nascar. Speed limit is 25 but there are a ton of cars doing 50+ daily. I don't even let my teenagers check the mail.

Multiple residents down our road have reported it. The police do not care. I've ever offered for them to park in my driveway which they would be hidden by trees and they could write 10+ per day. They don't care.

Follow him home and drive even faster in front of his house. If this doesn't work, go cut some donuts in his yard. A ;last resort would be to take a dump on the driver's seat of his truck.

I don't have neighbors so my solutions could be a tad extreme.

Had people confront me in high school speeding through the neighborhood. I’d just cuss them out. They would threaten to call police.

People in my old neighborhood used to call cops with license plate and they would go visit them. I lived next to "the Karen" and she did all the hard work as in reporting people. Basically go find vehicle and write down lic plate numbers. Cops go and tell Mr Z21 they are speeding and tell them to slow down without telling who complained. I know bc she reported one of my kids many years ago. They never said who complained but I knew bc she told me about others she reported. I lived in a 200 home subdv in a smaller city. That's the easiest way.

Had a kid get killed in my neighborhood in the late 70s. We heard a ton of sirens going down a street a couple streets down. A group of us were on our bikes and we booked it to where the sirens went.

We came upon the scene. Teenager was speeding around and hit the kid. Kid was in the street as the paramedics were trying to save him but it was too late. Parents were outside hoping against hope and it was bad. Blood in the street and gutter. Mother and Father losing their minds (rightfully so) and their child dead on the street.

Cops had the speeding teenager in a cruiser. Don’t know what happened to him criminal wise.

They got the kid in the ambulance and sped off I guess to see if there was a chance at a proper hospital somehow. The father ran to his car and left to follow. He was so distraught he did even hear his wife screaming to stop so she could get in the car.

If you’ve ever seen Mystic River with Sean Penn when they find his daughter, that’s about the level of intensity and raw emotion I saw as a kid on a bike. I can remember it all clearly in my mind.

I don’t speed through neighborhoods.

Karens were made for this. Seriously. Post this on your Facebook or NextDoor neighborhood group, and watch them assemble and publicly shame your neighbor with the bad-boy fetish.
