Jumped a Teen-age Racer's Butt

Tammy and I got tired of it and jumped on the two neighborhood teens for racing through our subdivision. Ever day, they haul out, with those loud mufflers and windows down letting everyone know who the latest rapper is using the oldest four-letter words in his songs. But it's that damn racing through the streets that gets us.
Our neighborhood is 25 mph and they hit that before the fourth tire is out of the driveway. Well I caught them the other day, one is a teen girl and the other a guy, playing chicken coming down the street. I had enough, told Tammy, and she went over and let the parents know what is up. (Tammy handles all this crap because no one can verbally tangle like her. As always I supervise.)
Well the two were out front, and popped off about me seeing them playing chicken and racing. The girl was grounded for it. Tammy and I went out there and confronted them about their snotty comment.
We both let them have it -- how it was speed like theirs in this neighborhood that totalled my 96 LSC (rest in peace), and speed that killed a father and son in the neighborhood.
The teen boy pops up, "we weren't playing chicken, dude." I said, "What did you say!!!" "We weren't playing chicken." No dude that time.
They did not say a thing after that as Tammy and I chewed on them and their irresponsibility to all the neighbors. Then we played the "what if game."
All quite on the front tonight. Maybe, just maybe, we saved someone from being hurt.

thumbs up to you!! Thats awesome that you take the initiative. To at least yell. We got a to watch our street for like a week, caught about 3 people speeding and I havent seen a cp on my street for about a year. Stil speeders.

Great job! Back in Edwardsville there's this girl up the street that thinks her car, Beretta, is a race car. I don't think she ever drops below 45mph, even going around the circle in the cul-de-sac. Damn french words. Her tires are always squealing, her music is extremlly loud and she just has no care about anything. The parents have tried to talk to her and her family but nothing has ever changed.

That's a temp. fix. When their freinds come by you arent going to be able to talk to every one of them. (believe me I was that kid once upon a time) Your best bet in myopinion is petitioning the neighborhood counsel to put speed bumps in the neighborhood. My neighbor was going to put some of those wood orange and white barriers at the end of our street last summer and I believe he might go ahead and do it since they have put the speed bumps on every street except ours. http://users3.ev1.net/~acashiola/ot/madfawk.gif

I don't know if its against the law but as long as you have the consent of everyone in your neighborhood (and have little kids on the street of course) then I don't think anyone would have a prob. doing it.

You sound a lot like my neighbor who will go out and stand in the middle of the street and STOP CARS and yell at them to slow down. (I'm always ducking for cover expecting a gat http://users3.ev1.net/~acashiola/ot/laugh.gif)

Good for you. It's nice to see people standing up about things. I live in a small town and have a few kids that drive around here like it's a raceway. What stinks is there is a few cops that live hear, but the kids do it anyway. He has talked to them, but nothing. Stops for a few days then back at it soon after. The cop has even giving out a few tickets. Maybe they wil learn soon before a kid or someone gets hurt.
