one day, when i first got my license, i was speeding through the backlane of my house..some old white guy slowed me down, waved me to stop and i put my window down and he blunty told me, hey, i was young once too, speeding around, but come on, speeding through the backlane like this, some kid pops out of nowhere and you're fucked! you can't avoid him and you'll never see him before it's too late! he was exactly right and i even told him so, and after that day i never sped down a backlane ever, even on residential streets i keep it slow cause that man's words were embedded in my head. that's an example where someone maybe has a right to say something. not to mention he wasn't condescending about it at all, he was sincerely trying to give me good advice. but in this lady's case..come on..who is that going to hurt? not her, not anyone except your gf who might, doubt it, but might get a ticket..that dumb old hag is just mental..mental i tell you!!
Yeah I'd have no problem if someone phrased it like that. He was probably a cool dude. If he would have come up with "Slow the fuck down or I'll report you to the cops!" I wouldn't have slowed down at all.
