Now you need to admit that 32MPH is not an absolutely dangerous speed...if that were so, then there would not be 35MPH school zones ANYWHERE.

I feel sorry for anyone who breaks the school zone speed limit and runs over and kills my child.

The mph must depend on the size of the school, it's location and population. I don't know how they arrive at what is and isn't safe. But, when the signs show, slow school zone, and there's a posted 20 mph limit, I expect all drivers to respect the limit and drive accordingly. The life of my child may depend on it.

I would HOPE that you meant:

See which part is important? I know your child would know the important part.

I feel sorry for the officer that tazes my pregnant wife and causes my wife to spontaneously abort because he insisted on having an incriminating instrument signed, despite the fact traffic camera tickets are not signed

Kids are just as squashed at 20mph as at 32mph.

Your child's life depends more on your teaching him how not to run into the street.

And when he isn't near the street, there is no reason to creep at 20 mph.
