I hope so but I have some doubt. I live on a street where the speed limit is 10 mph. That's certainly a safe speed but almost no one obeys it. Golf carts often go by at full speed and cars can, and do, go faster. I have never clocked their speed but it seems fast when you see them go by. They're certainly not going 10 mph. It's just lucky that I live on a loop so there's not a lot of traffic.

You know it must be fast when they kill rabbits. I found two dead rabbits in the road this past year.
