I have a problem regarding idiots driving to fast, and not sure any more how to solve the problem
I will try to stay political correct and and not offend anyone whilst typing this - but my blood is boiling, and I am having problems keeping calm...
We live in a suburb just outside of Stockholm in Sweden, in a road that is a dead end.
The road has houses on the one side and light industry on the other. There is a 10 year plan to replace all the industry with new and expensive houses and apartments - this was in part the reason why we purchased the house. It was at the price we could afford, and the value was predicted to go up with all the development they are doing round in the area.
The industry on the other side of the road, is shrinking rapidly as businesses go bust or move to new (better locations). We have one large company that deal in fire-proof boarding. They have some trucks that turn up from time-to-time to collect or deliver - but as this is during working hours it does not really affect us that much.
The problem I have is with two very small privately run car fixing garages. They are not run by locals, and everybody who work there do not speak a word of English and very limited Swedish. I know this for sure after having tried repeatedly to appeal to their better side - and failed drastically
We have two kids. My son is about to turn 2 and our daughter is 3 months old. We are not the only family on the street with kids - there are a lot of kids on our street.
Now here is the problem. The people working at these two garages believe that our street (which is a good length straight road) was built as their high-speed test track, and test all forms of cars ( a lot of them look like they are about to fall apart and sound really bad!) up and down the street.
The fact that they do this on a road that is designated as a 30K/hr road iterates me enough - the fact that they also feel it is appropriate to do so in the evenings and weekends when my son wants to be out playing, is making my see red. I can not let my son out to ride his bike on what should be an empty dead end road at the weekends due to some ignorant ********** not having any respect for the speeding limit and families that live on the road
I have repeatedly been down to talk to them, and it is a complete waste of time. I have tried to stand in the middle of the road when they drive up and down, but they just smile and drive past. I have pushed on them so much, that I am starting to worry about the safety of my family and home - they do not look like people who would think twice about putting a match to your home!
I have called the Police twice, but they have not done much.
So, if you have managed to read to the end - please, what should I do???
