16: School Zone Speeding
If there is a downright annoying and dangerous thing for most parents, it is when drivers fly through a school zone. Here we have the story of someone who went ahead and flew through a school zone only to get a fat ticket. “There is a busy road through town where I live. It’s normally two lanes but over the winter the right lane was shut and the speed limit was reduced to 15 Mph while they laid new sewer pipe. I was driving the posted speed limit when a lady in a BMW gets behind me and starts waving her arms and flashing her lights. When we got out of the roadworks she flipped me off and stepped on the gas accelerating to 45-55 mph. She was still accelerating when she passed the cop parked in front of the local elementary school. It was a school day so I think that ticket was a large one.” – via Some eCards

This teaches us that even if you think that you are slick there’s a good chance that you’ll get a fat ticket. School zone speeding is not just inconsiderate, but it is also very dangerous. As a driver, you could fatally injure a child or worse. When it comes to driving through a school zone the slower that you go the better.
