For you all that talk about bus drivers, You need to sit back and look at your on speed. I had a parent to run my stop arm just this week. But I hold my children on the bus because sometimes and yes (even you) or not paying attention, when you drive. Yes, go ahead and say its true. Yes there is alot of students out there that speed and dart in and out between buses and yes we radio each others. Yes, we know with three children in the car that are not aways quiet. Can take your attenttion in a heart beat. Thank for being so concerned for the bus driver, we ask that you pray for all of us.

These guys need to write some red light tickets. Too many people are running red lights and they don’t do anything about it. All they seem to want to do is write speeding tickets.

Hey, Whitepunk
Why don’t you take a look at the home page here. Three wrecks featured at one time. All three where caused by people speeding in the rain. And you said, “speeding rarely is the cause of an accident”. I guess you were wrong.

Molino Mom…don’t worry about Molino Rd..everyone needs to just do the speed limit and then there wouldn’t be any trouble. It is better to arrive late and alive than to arive early dead!

Hats off to our deputies! We know you only go where you are told and speeding is not the priority with the small number of deputies assigned to the northend. But if you have time Gobbler rd from 99N to Hwy 97 has become a dragstripe.
Speed limit should be lowered from 45 to 35 because we all know most are going to go 10 – 15 mph over the limit anyway. Ever since this road was paved traffic from 164 takes Gobbler rd because they can go faster on a wider road. By the way, county can take down the no trucks sign on Hwy 99N. That’s a joke. If you really want to help us stop all the 18 wheelers traveling at night on the narrow rd of hwy 164 from hwy 97 all the way to hwy 29. regular vehicles bearly have enough room to pass each outher.

Get em, boys. Let the ticket writing begin. Once these people start having to pay $100 and more in tickets, maybe they will learn to read and obey the posted speed limit signs. It’s not a suggestion. It is the max allowed speed for that particular section of road. Get over it or find somewhere else to drive.

The Troopers in AL have proved that the more tickets you write for moving violations, the number of crashes and fatal crashes drop drastically. And the best thing is, they are the most professional officers I have ever seen in my life. We need this in North Escambia. It seems like someone is dying every day in North Escambia because of a crash.

Need to get the speeders on pine barren road, before and after school, they like to pass on curves, and in the 35/mph speed zone in Christian Home.

That comment about the tractor is just hilarious. (not) Did you think that up all by yourself? and to say that speeding rarely causes accidents, how about talk to some of the EMS guys and let them tell you about some of the accidents they have been to. Speed limits are set to try to reduce these accidents. By breaking the speed limit you are also breaking the law. Leave a little earlier, or just arrive later. But I can imagine that those that are complaining so much about speed limits being to low really don’t have any where worth while to go anyway. As for myself, I carry precious cargo everyday (my 3 children). If a $100 fine can make a few people slow down, I am all for it!!!! I am even one of those who will get your tag number and call and report you for “flying” through my neighborhood.
