It’s Never A Problem Until It Happens To You

Despite living on a quiet road with play parks and schools, we still get idiots driving up and down the road as fast as possible. There have been lots of near misses and it’s only a matter of time before someone really injures themself.

Every time anyone tries to lobby for traffic calming measures, a bunch of idiots whine about how it will affect them (marginally) and complain against it. One idiot in particular, Mr. Whiner, always jumps on any post to defend any wrongdoers, stating he lives on that very street and essentially, because he doesn’t see it, it can’t be true or that bad.

Eventually, it happens: some manchild drives his car so quickly it clips the kerb, bouncing it across the road and into a parked car. The parked car of Mr. Whiner has its front end obliterated. How the driver walked out was tantamount to a miracle.

Of course, Mr. Whiner suddenly can’t understand why no one has done anything already.
