Only a cop would know this...When I'm near cops, I just feather my throttle and my noise level is low.
I swear, you've just described the guy doing that,same car, on my street...must be a Ford fad.like the guy woth his gt350 and cutouts bombing down my 25 mph street at 90 at 4 am...
I think they mentally are a little on the slow side and try to compensate by doing that. I feel like they whisper to themselves I am speed while doing it. He lives a bit away, about a mile but my street has a fire road at the end everyone uses as a cut through... I've clocked people doing 75-80 in broad daylight. PD won't do anything about it because they're football parents running late to practice at the far end. The fact there has only been 1 car to ever get hit in the 20 years I've lived here is nothing short of astounding because it's a regular occurrence by a lot of people....I swear, you've just described the guy doing that,same car, on my street...must be a Ford fad.
They're being reactive instead of proactive/preventive. Until somebody actually dies, they won't do anything. They're either lazy or short on manpower.The fact there has only been 1 car to ever get hit in the 20 years I've lived here is nothing short of astounding because it's a regular occurrence by a lot of people....
Two words: speed bumps.They're being reactive instead of proactive/preventive. Until somebody actually dies, they won't do anything. They're either lazy or short on manpower.

After enough people bounce there heads off the roof of their cars, they'll slow down.
That's called the attitude adjustment, where I come from.Exactly. Or you get pulled over for whatever and you keep running your mouth. The more you talk, the more they will find to give you coupons for.
Our snow plow guys don't like em too much...Two words: speed bumps.
cant see due to snow and signage knocked down or covered in snow or missing been there done sucks.... just gotta be cautious i guess.Our snow plow guys don't like em too much...
The newer ones at a local store are like driving over 5 inches of curb. I've made a point not to return to that store because even at a crawl they're violent. But I don't think you could do that on a 25mph street either.Speed bumps are definitely not the solution. May slow down anything smaller than an Equinox but SUVs and trucks just make a point of going faster over them at the detriment of the people that live right in front of them constantly hearing "thump thump".
Our city has been putting radar signs that show your speed that turn red and blink when speeding everywhere. Seems to help somewhat but people get used to them and get back to their old habits. We just had the speed limit on our residential street reduced from 50 km/h to 40 km/h (31>25 mph). Has helped somewhat but the real problem is non-residents that use our streets to cut through to get to/from their own neighbourhoods. Have confronted a few of them and they then mysteriously disappear. Was especially bad during construction on the adjoining major artery. We don't have sidewalks so walking can be perilous at times.
