SuperSweet had such a good post I thought I was at a different forum.

Stay the **** out of my neighborhood. I'm pretty sure the extra 10-25 feet needed to stop matters. Although I'm sure the 15 seconds you save doing 40 over 25 outweighs a child's life.

If I don't wear my seat belt(even though I do 100% of the time) that's my choice and puts no one else in danger. Much different than doing 50mph in a 25 zone.

Your choice costs me $$ as already noted.
