To even put forth the implication that it's somehow a parent's or a kid's fault that a car is exceeding the limit in a residential zone is idiotic beyond comprehension.

Hey hey, nobody told you that it's fine to speed in residential, mr angry parent!
But we talk about safety here also. And most of the times I hear children mentioned as the primary concern.

Parents are responsible for their kids. Car speeding or not - it is danger.

If you want safety - educate your children and k e e p t h t e m o f f t h e r o a d !!! Do your part of safety at least. You have more control of you children than some driver, you can just fine him later but it may be too late...

When I was little I knew exactly what would happen if I approach the road: I would die or I i will get tons of s*** from my dada when we home! The last one was scarier for me that time.

Yes, parents are responsible to teach their children about the world, including safety, but, how many of us have seen kids totally forget about they are supposed to do, and just do what they want. Heck, we all do it now anyhow. You, me and all drivers from the Grannies and Granpas to the G1 newbie, and everyone in between has to watch out for everyone else. I don't know about you, but, I don't want to have to live with hitting someone because their parents forgot to tell them about all the rules of the road. As someone who has experienced a loved one being hit by a vehicle.... and trust me, he was told about all the road rules, it isn't fun.
