Speed bumps....the plague. They have the nickname "reclining policeman" here. Bollards and fake roundabouts shorten the distance to pick up speed. Not always are the local municipalities keen on proactively ensuring safety...

Yes, ask the city to add a few speed bumps or roundabouts to control these irresponsibly driven cars. Even as a younger driver I at least knew not to speed (much) in built up areas take that behavior out to the country it's still not right but at least if you blow it you  more than likely just going to end up in a field and not harm others. Old man rant, these kids are being raised with out any exposure to personal responsibility, end rant before I really get going.  

 

PS the city could do what the city of North Bend does and just stop maintaining the roads.

I live in a fire zone on a street with two fire stations. The city is refusing to put speed bumps because they need the thorough way for the fire trucks. The Speed Racers know this and they are here at night, especially the weekends.

 

 

 

If this is usual activity I'd think the police could rack up on weekends!

Slavs, could I suggest you create just one universal thread to post all your complaints about how others are choosing to live their lives ? 
 

I’m thinking “Get off my Lawn” would be a good title. 
 

Or engage a more positive outlook on life…

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
