Dear Speedster,
I’d like to address a pressing issue: please, reduce your speed. I refrain from raising my voice in frustration because I’m outside my home, engaged in play with my young children, and I want to maintain a calm atmosphere. After all, I’m trying to shield them from inappropriate language, despite the fact that they’ve heard it a few times before. However, I’ve come dangerously close to expressing my anger towards you.
My son is happily creating chalk drawings while my daughter, ever the little adventurer, is attempting to escape my grip. She has a mind of her own, constantly drawn to the excitement of the world around her. It’s my duty to ensure they stay away from the street, preventing any potential accidents while they chase after a ball or run to greet a neighbor. Your reckless speed only adds to my anxiety. Could you please just slow down? Playing outdoors is becoming a challenge because of your driving.
The speed limit here is 25 mph, yet you often exceed it significantly. I’ve witnessed you chatting on your phone or texting while zipping by.
Sometimes it’s a young driver, alone in a car with blaring music, lost in thought as you race to pick up a friend. I know the person you’re headed to see; she’s a wonderful young lady. Does her mother realize you drive with such disregard? I might need to mention it later. Seriously, slow down!
At other times, it’s an elderly woman in a Buick. It surprises me to see you driving so fast on a street populated with children. Don’t you have grandchildren or any young ones you care about? We’ve exchanged pleasantries before, and you’ve always been kind to my kids. Doesn’t the thought of endangering them concern you? I genuinely like you, but please, slow down.
Then there are parents like you, driving a minivan filled with your own little ones. It’s astonishing how you speed past, seemingly unconcerned about the safety of others. I understand that life gets busy, but your haste is alarming. Slow down.
Sometimes, it’s a middle-aged man who waves cheerfully as he drives by, sipping coffee, mistaking my frantic gestures for a greeting when I’m actually signaling for you to slow down.
It seems you’re oblivious to how fast you’re going. I understand that I’m the one watching my children closely, but shouldn’t you also adhere to traffic laws? Despite our efforts to keep the area safe, you treat our street like a racetrack. To all drivers speeding through our neighborhood—please, slow down. And if I see you again, don’t be shocked if I call you out. You’ve earned it.
