[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 1085615, member: 1944"] The speed limit on my street is 25mph. No one follows it but me. I dont see the need to go any faster as its only 1/4 mile long, but some people are always in such a hurry. So when we have a foot of snow since its on a hill, I let my dogs go across the street, but I go first and make sure no one is coming. I do stop the youngsters and tell them the speed limit, simply because it is a state park, and people are walking constantly, most of them elderly. One time last year my dogs were in the road, and my husband kept yelling at them and they wouldnt come, they were scared to death yet would not come. So he went down and there is a guy laying in the road, whos replacement hip went out. As soon as Daddy came they hopped back in the yard. Yes speed limits are a good thing. But when a dog comes running out, no matter how you are watching, sometimes you cannot stop, period. Or some guy laying in the road by the time you see it on a narrow road, or no matter how far you are looking ahead, on a curve, or a hill, it might be impossible. Either way a dog in the road is not the motorist fault. We suffer the emotional pain, for an idiots lack of responsibility. Yes sometimes they break loose, on that note if I have a huge dog lunging at me, no matter what type of chain, I do not deliver. How many dogs you see running around draggin chains? Weakest link.
