Dear School Zone Speeder:

Traffic
This morning I watched as you left the Elementary school where you probably dropped off a child of yours.
I saw you turn onto Arkansas ln. and undoubtedly head for your home or office to start your busy day.
I saw you approach me from behind and pass me...I'm sure you were wondering why that guy in the Chevy truck was going so slow.
And then I found that I was next to you at the next traffic light...so I rolled down my window and after getting your attention I politely informed you that you just sped through a school zone.
I was suprised to hear you tell me to..."mind my own f---ing business" and then speed away.
I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize for intruding in your business and alerting you to something as trivial as the safety of other people's school children, after all you had already dropped yours off... I promise I won't bother you again.
However I did want to caution you to be more polite in the future... or at least take precautions such as obscuring your license plate and removing your parking pass from your place of employment. I forwarded my complaint regarding your offensive driving and language to the Arlington Police this morning... along with your name, address, and place of work that I was able to find with your license plate and my computer. I hope that the police heed your warning and mind their own business as well...but you never know, they just might want to speak to you.
I hope you were not late to wherever you were going this morning, and again I apologize for the intrusion.
Your fellow motorist.
