What Speed Bump...

That thought struck my mind too....But if it was staged then for what reason????...At the Mall we have a total of eight speed bumps, three at the North entrance of Macy's, two on the East side of Macy's, to the parking garage...and three at the South side of Sears entrance....Someone decided we needed a few more under the skywalk on "Outer Ring Road", didn't last long because of some of the low sports cars, low riders hanging up on them, they are gone now...As many times during a normal patrol day, we might run over those speed bumps several hundred times (all shifts different drivers different units), but the front ends on our patrol units are always needing work????

Personally I can "see" the need for speed bumps, then there are some that I see no need for...Sign on side of street "Caution Speed Bumps Ahead"....POW!! you hit one before you even see it, yes that sign is right by the first one...Wanna stop "speeding" in that area, park a police officer there a few days of the week, the jerks that do speed, might get the message???...

Speed bumps when I was growing up???..It was usually a dead animal...or our "ramps" that we forgot to move out of the street..In the town were I did most of my growing up, from bicycles to motor scooters to finally our first cars, you didn't speed, because that old judge in that town, threw the book at you...Your neighbors would call the police on you for doing stupid things, then most times "Bulldog" showed up on your front steps wanting to have a "chat", one "chat" with "Bulldog", you got the message!!!...OH well I regressed again...
