I have seen this particular Jeep spending often so the driver likely lives in the Village. I can't tell the age of the driver because, of course, the windows are tinted dark. I don't sit outside TRYING to observe speeding. I just notice it when I am cutting the grass in the front yard. If I can notice a particular car speeding when I am NOT looking for that, I am amazed that the local Police or Community Service can't control this DANGEROUS behavior. I can live with the white crosses and a don't get upset if a dog uses my yard for its toilet. The white crosses do NOT weigh several tons and speed at 50 MPH - so I don't worry that they will KILL any residents. Laws are laws and right IS right - I say to enforce the MOST IMPORTANT situations FIRST - the ones that can threaten human life !

This morning at 0650 driving From Seabreeze on Odell to Morse. Speed 32, little over, but being cautious since it a busy time for dog walks. I was passed by a silver suv that had to crossover a double yellow, on a curve. Speeding away, then slammed on their brakes because the gate hesitated it open. By the time I reached roundabout , the car was already breaking at the next light.
It’s 7am folks, that walker and dog will be a life changer for them and you, when you choose to pass at those speeds. But guess that driver is too selfish to worry about someone else.
