It seems that the little kids on our rural country lane have all become
teenagers at once and are trying to outdo the others in how fast they can
drive daddy's car up and down the lane. We've lost one dog this week and
unless I can put up some sort of a siren that goes off when they exceed some
agreed upon limit, the carnage will continue.

A strobe light. The radar 'your speed is..' signs don't do much to
discourage the a*holes. They just try to see what sort of quarter mile
speed they can hit.

The ones with the strobe make them wonder whether they'll be getting one
of those photo tickets in the mail.

How about a sign that says, "Shotgun automatically triggered when
speed exceeds 25MPH" ?:-)

Leave it to Thompson to come up with one that involves lethal violence.
At least the booby-trap I suggested only involves noise and damage to
the car's paint ( and maybe sheet metal, depending how fast they're going
and what's in the garbage cans. )

Cheers!
