It was great to see FPD nailing speeders on Malloy Ave today.
We have 25 MPH zones for a very good reason – the lives of children are more important than some idiot’s need to save a few seconds on their drive to/from work.
For Crom’s Sake, SLOW DOWN, WILL YOU?
Thank you FPD, keep up the good work!
UPDATE
I was with a friend today while she was driving down Church Road, near Aldergrove, at a few MPH over the limit. A fellow citizen in a red Chevy was tailgating her, weaving back and forth, threatening everyone around him. When she turned, he gunned his engine, leaned on his horn and went speeding along on his merry way. (With luck FPD was around the bend).
Why is it that otherwise rational people turn into reckless idiots when behind the wheel of a car? Riddle me that, Batman.
