Speeding in school zones!

Nothing pisses me off more than the a$$hats who continually speed past the front of my daughter's school each and every single day both in the morning and afternoon.
To each and everyone of these morons I have only one thing to say, slow the f*ck down you f*cking inbred morons. If your that worried about being late for work you should have gotten out of bed earlier you $hithead.
I hope the bitch I got out at the end of the block to yell at got the message based on the pale, holy sh1t is he going to kill me look on her face.
It should be legal to throw roofing nails infront of idiots like these.

(Sorry felt the need to vent.)

I agree it is time for the police to blitz the school zones and parking lots as speeders could pay off our debt in a year .

if you took the license number, you can have them charged provided you are willing to stand up in court.

They put those camera-vans in those places now.

Perhaps phone 311 and ask for one to be put in your area.

How can you say that they were speeding? You think they were, but can't provide evidence, so.....

If you were looking at your own spedometer and you were doing the speed limit and they were going faster then you. And you then have your car tested to ensure the spedometer is accurate

I agree with you or the donkeys that pass stopped school busses. as if all the red flashing lights and that big red stop sign off the side of the bus aren't indication enough of what is suppsed to happen. I knew some one that once got a ticket for passing a stopped school bus and it was for $350. hehehe I thought it was great to see such a steep fine! But the person that got it bitched and tried to fight it and the judge said "pay it or lose your lisince!" hahaha I loved it!

its easy enough to get a radar gun now a days. almost every speed or performance shop in the city sells them for under or around $100

yeah but providing proof that radar gun is accurate is rather expensive.

You'd have to provide evidence that, at the time, your speed device was certified to be accurate, which you cannot.

Cops have a proceedure to follow before they set up a speed trap.

Just stand at the side of the road pointing a hair dryer at traffic!

you can get them with tolorance -/+ 1 kph for $135.95 lol the i have i use to check how far off my snowmobile speedos are.

i imagine though that if you contacted the police and said that you suspect X amount of vechile travel at over aprox. X amount of speed every day between say 3:15pm and 4pm and did this for about a week, it would atleast get their attition.

You have a vivid imagination

yeah but just because the manufacturer says it has a 1 kph tolerance does not mean that would hold up in court. The police would love that ability to not have to proove that their guns were accurate at every single speed court case

lol yes... yes i do. or they could just put in huge ass speed bumps... like the ones were if u do more then 15 it rips your tail pipe off

just call the WPS and complain and follow it up with a call to your local area city councillor and explain to them as well that on more then one occasion you have noticed it. They will have a radar van out in a jiffy.

311 is the number...

I wonder how many of those people speeding by your daughters school are parents dropping their own kids off at school?

i never did understand why so many of the schools in this city are so porely designed and placed as to ensure that anyone dropping their kids off from a vehicle will pretty much be causing a huge problem.

YES, we live in a city and YES most of these schools are supposed to be community schools so the kids should be walking. But you know what, thats just not reality and for alot of these schools that was not reality when the schools were being planned to be built either. Is it really that foriegn of a concept to build a child drop off loop? Hell alot of these schools have a BUS loop that is used a whole 2 times a day. Someone needs to wrap thier head around the situation and start thinking properly.

The parent's dropping off at school are the ones who are stopped (like me) letting their kids out of the car. After a while you get to know who's a regular, and who's just passing by on their way to the major intersection at the corner.

Just pisses me off that people not only regularly do this, but some don't even slow down as they swerve to avoid your obviously open doors. I always look in my rear view before I open the door to let my daughter out, and if someone is 200-300 meters behind me at the stop sign I don't expect them to be on top of me 3 seconds later. Seriously, this dumbass must have been going at least 80 kph as she blew by my driver side door.

F'ing retard. I'd be all for the death penalty if she ran over a kid at that speed.

Let him take off your door and see how quickly he gets to work then!

Look at Dryden Ontario, the New Prospet school. My neice goes there and its set up great! its right at the end of a dead end road. so drive up to the end of the street and turn left into a loop, drop your children off and then exit the loop with a right hand turn hardly disurpting the flow of traffic. its a perfect setup. I do understand though that this is a rare setup and probably luck of the draw that it turned out that way.

Both the people who speed through school zones and pass school buses should receive high fines. I have a neighbor who actually drove over someone's lawn to get past a school bus that was about to stop and pick up kids.

I have noticed that they city has been placing a photo radar on Pembina around St. Maurice school ( interesting that is is a private school) because it is a school zone. However, they have been put there on weekend evenings. I'm a believer that if you don't want to get a ticket, don't speed. However, I think there could be a valid argument made that since the city is only allowed to put mobile photo radar in construction and school zones ( and one other - can't remember the criteria), that a ticket from a photo radar van placed in a school zone on a Sunday evening is not consistent with the intent of the regulation, and therefore should be invalid. Thoughts?

And if the problem is as bad as you say it is, you can go to the Police Service and ask to have one of the speed boards set up on the street where the concern is for a 5 day plan so that the vehicles will see what speed they are actually going and realize they are speeding. There is a cost to this program but that shouldn't be a factor considering this is for the safety of the children. These are used in the construction zones to show drivers how fast they are going.
