Um, speed bumps?

I like what they call "speed humps". When they're designed and built right, you can drive over them up to the speed limit without issue. At 5 over, they will loosen your teeth.Jaguar wrote:Um, speed bumps?

Re: Katy neighbors say you won't need an attorney
How does that work? I guess you factor in speed and determine what a "comfortable" shock/spring compression rate is?

Re: Katy neighbors say you won't need an attorney
Katy still has a few real people left who haven't been neutered by political correctness and haven't been reduced to sheeple like the mass majority of this country......good for them
yeah and in case you're wondering..... i was one of those people until i moved to cypress and started recruiting

Strangely I was attacked on this board for remarking that I've been in neighborhoods where if you ran over one of the kids you were going to have a very bad day.

Re: Katy neighbors say you won't need an attorney
well you shouldn't have been, if someone hit a kid any human being would naturally feel that way.... anyone who says they wouldn't have obviously never been in that situation....Cedar Park Dad wrote:Strangely I was attacked on this board for remarking that I've been in neighborhoods where if you ran over one of the kids you were going to have a very bad day.

Re: Katy neighbors say you won't need an attorney
CPD's comments inferred that individuals would be beaten near to death in his neighborhood if this happened, not that people would think that.Ultra_Solo_Sig_0904 wrote:well you shouldn't have been, if someone hit a kid any human being would naturally feel that way.... anyone who says they wouldn't have obviously never been in that situation....Cedar Park Dad wrote:Strangely I was attacked on this board for remarking that I've been in neighborhoods where if you ran over one of the kids you were going to have a very bad day.

Re: Katy neighbors say you won't need an attorney
Ultra, read my post again or go back and read CPD's post in the Detroit thread. There is a difference between thinking/feeling and actually doing. CPD's post stated someone WOULD BE BEATEN as if it was a fact if they ran over a child in his area. That is why he said he was "attacked" in the other thread.Ultra_Solo_Sig_0904 wrote:anygun, would you not want to do the same if someone hit your child or wife or insert family member here....????

Re: Katy neighbors say you won't need an attorney
Okay i see what you're saying, but at the same time i understand what cpd was saying too. I can't guarantee that would be my reaction, but at the same time i couldn't guarantee it would not happen either.....hopefully i'll never have to seeanygunanywhere wrote:Ultra, read my post again or go back and read CPD's post in the Detroit thread.

Re: Katy neighbors say you won't need an attorney
My thoughts on the video:
1. I think the "children at play" signs would work just as well.
2. Last I checked ATV were off road vehicles and were not legally allowed on the street.
3. If people want to walk the neighborhood they should put in sidewalks.
4. If it's that big of a problem with people using a neighborhood as a bypass, petition the appropriate authority to become a gated community.
5. If your dogs weren't ratting the streets they wouldn't get run over.
I don't see how the signs could not be seen as threatening. They might as well say, "Hit my kid or dog and I'm going to kill you".

Re: Katy neighbors say you won't need an attorney
Wouldn't depend on if the driver was at fault or the kid? If the driver is speeding or driving recklessly I could see it getting ugly. If the driver was obeying the laws and the kid entered the street, I would consider that an accident be more understanding.
