Won't they think of the children?!
My neighbors are positively obsessed with yelling at speeding drivers; once a beer can was hurled at an exceptionally speedy vehicle.
I have to remind them that, before I knew any of them, I was scolded by a threesome of wives for "speeding" down the road at 12 miles per hour. (The speed limit is 20.)
Then I remind them of the time that I hit a neighborhood kid with my car. I was going 0 MPH because I could tell that the kid wasn't paying attention and was going to run into the road.
Streets are not playgrounds. Drivers should certainly do their best to be cautious when children are around, but most of the time it's the kid's fault when one gets hit by a car.
