Travel these roads a lot, About time something was done about fast dangerous drivers on these country roads.
No good finds, prison for a few days in local cells and break cars into pieces, Will cool them down.
They are playing with lives, If people think differant, WAIT till one of Thier children is murdered by these idiots speeding, then see what they say after they stop crying about losing member of family.
We as a country are too soft on car drivers who lame or KILL.
No differance between car and GUN, just the IDIOT behind it.
