HOONS

I live in a small community where generally people know each other or know of one another.
As such people are usually respectful which is good but there are exceptions.

What I've discovered is that when being annoyed by someone else's driving it's best not to give them the fingers as they might be a neighbour or you might bump into them at the next tennis game or community meeting.

That said though there are road rules that need to be obeyed. To get to our bay from town there's a 25 minute drive with varying speed limits:

50km to 80km
80km to 50km
50km to 80km
80km to 100km
100km to 70km
70km to 100km
100km to 50km
50km to 100km
100km to 50km.

It is annoying when you're stuck behind some old schoolteacher who does 60 or 70 in the 100km areas. Generally these old duffers then go on to continue to do 60 or 70km in the 50km areas. Bastards.

What is of greater concern though are the jerks who tailgate even when you're doing the right speed.
Often these are the tossers on their way to Ocean Beach and in a seemingly big hurry. They ignore the 50KM speed limits where there are schools, children and pets and race along at 70 or 80kms.

At the AGM of the local citizens group this problem will be on the agenda.
What we can do about it without road spikes, road blocks and bazookas though is anyone's guess.
