C'mon, i know the weather outside is really nice and we all wanna cruise around in our rides, but just because you think you are "the shit" with your car doesn't give you the goddamn right to speed in playground zones at 4pm in the friggin afternoon trying to show off. In case you didn't know, thats when all the kiddies are in the parks/playgrounds when it's this nice outside. Goddamn.

I don't care how box you think you are in your car, you speed in a playground zone just to show off your BOV/exhaust/someshithere to all the kiddies (heaven forbid elementary school kids to know what a RHD/JDM/fanboycar is ) and you're just asking for cops to start cracking down on every single modified car out there.

You wanna be a try-hard on the streets with your car, fine, idc hope you get your ass busted, but don't do shit like that which would end up ruining for everyone.

I think you should quit yer whining. Everyone bitches so much lately. Don't you know that karma catches up with these folks? I mean if they kill someone they'll learn. If little johnny plays on the road he'll learn too. I learned to look both ways when i was just a wee lil boy. Shouldn't today's society do the same? Shit i've seen 16 year olds walk out on a green the other nite and almost get plowed. Morons. Anyway quit bitchin.

Simpson, Homer

That is all.

Yeah, I totally feel your pain, and I couldn't agree more with what your saying... but there is so much bitching on here now. Since when did "Street Encounters" turn into "Bitch About Every Bad Driver In Calgary" which is an incredibly large sum of people. If I came on here and bitched about everything that is a common occurance, etc. I would have 500 pages on this forum of that shit.

I don't entirely agree with above, as a kid getting killed over it or something isn't a good way to teach the guy a lesson. It will get the point across, but at more than one person's expense.

It's not just the driver who would lose out, it's everyone with modified cars... it's really hard to shake the stereotype when people do act like that.

I see your point with older kids but no matter how many times you tell a pre-schooler or child a bit older they still get distracted and run out on to the street. Saying, "that will learn them" is f$cking stupid and indicates you know shit about kids.

The playground/school zones are there for a reason..respect them.

Ya, they're there to teach kids to be irresponsible. Respect it!

Ranting on a car forum is not going to do anything thusly!

I live right accross the street from a playground zone.

Its ridiculous to see how many people actually speed through it...

Who cares if street encounters has turned into a ranting zone. It's not like this place gets any other posts anyways. Personally, I like to keep on top of all the idiots in Calgary. It makes me feel better getting some of the shit that happens off my chest.

... I personally love the people who are super slow through the residential area.. and then proceed to speed in the playground zone...

The worst offenders in the playground zones are usually the jacked-up and chipped F-150's.

YES,

I dont rant on people doing 35-40 through the zone, whatever they will get a ticket sometime I am sure, its not my place.

but I can't stand the people who drive like if they just average it out its okay some how.

"Well maybe if I only do 45 in this 60 zone I can do 45 through the playground zone too"

sure and if you aren't speeding through it they might get a second chance. I see that you were a perfect child.

I was never the perfect child. I grew up in HK, and there's no such thing as playground zones, or pedestrian has the right of way. I learned at a young age to respect the fact that car vs human is a losing battle. Kids here don't respect that, they dart across the street without looking thinking they're invincible. Why? Because of playground and school zones, they think they're safe around these areas. All it takes is one of these "chipped F150's" to prove them wrong, too bad they won't be alive to learn that lesson.

Fuck I hate all zones. Fence = No zone

Couldn't agree more. Seems like school and playground zones are just like TV. Some parents use the TV to teach their children, and then they complain about the violence on it. Parents use the playground zones so they can let little Timmy at the age of 6 go out and play at the playground unsupervised running around everywhere, and then they complain about the speed.

When I was a kid, I lived right across the street from my park, and I was NEVER allowed to go there without my parents watching me.

yea fuck when i grew up i never ran out infront of cars i knew i would
be mashed into hamberger meat

and i fuckin hate playground zones and 90 percent of the people who live in them
just cause my cars louder when the fuckin parent who put their children in plastic bubbles yell
at my car SLOW DOWN HEY and im doing 30-35
i swear to god next person who does that im gonna fuckin
punch them out on their own front lawn

ahhh my rant is over
that is all

EDIT: and if your old enough to wipe your own ass over 5
and you dont have the brain capacity to not run out infront of a loud 3000lbs hunk of moving steal i consider it natural selction

I was driving home and I was doing 50... which was the speed limit for the residential area. Some dumb lady came walking up saying, "There's kids around, slow down!"

All I said was, "Last time I checked, it's 1:30pm, and all the kids are at school, as a matter of fact, I don't see a single kid on this street, secondly, I wasn't even speeding!"

^^^^ yea those kind of bitches^^^^
their hudsbands have lost intrest in their wrinkley
boring minds\slash bodys so they spend their lives
sitting on their front lawn like perched hawks
screaming at any and every car that drives by
because their unhappy with their lives

The worse is when you're not speeding, those old farts are working on their garden, and they chuck dirt or spray water at you. I usually stop for those and get all asian gangsta (complete with fobby accent) to scare those fuckers. Least I can do since it necessitates a 30 minute car wash to clean that shit up.
