Ok...so I live in a small town in Maine. I really really like it here with the exception of the way they drive on my street. Its pretty rural and there are young kids on 4 wheelers ( which I hate ) going super fast..thats not really the problem...the problem is I live on the corner lot and to the right of us is a hill that people insist on flying down or up. I mean they exceed speeds like 40-45 miles an hour here. There are no sidewalks to duc for cover. I would like to go for walks with my kids...but I am terrified that one of these a**holes are gonna run us over because they are gonna see us too late. I mean they didn't slow down in the snow so I imagine the nice weather isn't gonna slow them down. My kids have a right to feel safe in their own neighborhood. Right?

I am so frustrated!!!

if those kids are a problem call the police those things aren't even allowed on the roads where i live. have you tried talking to their parents. if that fail then i would talk to the police.

Its really not the 4 wheelers...Its adults and teenagers in their cars speeding down our road. I actually worry about the kids on the ATV's.

you can call the police and let them know about all the speeders and that there are children that live in the area. you might have to get a petition started about putting speed bumps on the road.
