Let me begin with the facts. A Neighbor that is 5 or 6 houses down the street bought himself a new Mustang. I know what some of you are thinking...stay with me. I'm a car guy and I like Mustangs, as well as, just about every street rod, muscle car, and sports car made. Anyway, it's one of the newer Mustangs. He's probably in his late 40s. He keeps it nice and installed a new free flowing exhaust that sounds great. The problem is his driving when he is in the neighborhood. He drives way too fast. There are a lot of small kids around...including mine. So, I've called the police 5 or 6 times. They said they would increase patrols in the neighborhood....and I think they have...but they would have to be driving around the same time he was leaving his house or returning to see how he drives. Nothing much happens in our neighborhood so I'm sure the police department has more important things to worry about. Neighbors have talked to me about the guy's driving.
So, the other day I'm outside and I hear him take off as fast as that car will go down the street towards my house. I'm at the corner of two streets. I run out to talk to him while he's at our stop sign. I tell him he needs to slow down because of all the kids in our neighborhood. I don't threaten or say anything that I really want to say. I think I surprise him so much that he's shocked. He doesn't say a word and takes off very slowly through the neighborhood. He seems to drive normally for a while but it doesn't take very long for him to start speeding though the neighborhood again.
I call the police again this weekend to explain what is happening and the officer gives me the Sergeant's voice mail saying that he will get back to me and might set up one of those speed detecting signs. My fear is that it will have to opposite impact on his driving.
I will wait to see if the Sergeant calls me back. Is there anything else that I can do? I don't want my house or family to be in danger of a retaliation if he gets in trouble with the police for his driving. What else can I do legally? Are there any other avenues I can take to get someone's attention?

Thanks in advance for your help.
