You don't own your neighborhood, your streets, or anything except your own little pea patch. If I decide to drive through your yard, you can tell me how fast to go.
Or maybe I'll just kill you.

Ian, I was with you on your first story, but you're flat out wrong about neighborhoods. They're really dangerous places to speed; there's unexpected stuff happening all the time, and it can cause people -- especially kids -- to get seriously hurt or killed. Once you're going above a certain speed, things can happen too fast for anyone to react, so there needs to be the slack that lower speed limits provide.
If Randy were walking down the street in his neighborhood and saw a man mugging a handicapped woman, would you tell him he shouldn't intervene just because he doesn't "own the neighborhood?" Or because it's "not his job" to police things?
This is no different.
