How fast, or rather, slow would you drive through a residential neighborhood? If you lived in an HOA that encouraged you to drive slowly, would you comply?

In this story, one homeowner in an HOA is really annoyed about the signs and neighbors trying to encourage them to slow down when it’s not like they’re driving very fast.

Let’s see how the story plays out.

HOA SLOW KIDS

I live in an HOA, unfortunately.

Our neighbors have taken the liberty of putting up passive aggressive signs like “Slow down, this is a neighborhood, not a race track” and “Drive like your children live here” and the like.

I never speed in the neighborhood anyways, I drive like a grandma.

But that wasn’t slow enough.

I had one of the sign poster houses give me the “slow down” hand sign very aggressively.

I was going 20mph.

I didn’t slow down.

He seemed upset.

How slow does this neighbor want everyone to go?

From now on I’ve been just slapping my manual transmission into first gear and going 15-17mph in front of his house.

This also kicks my rpms to 5-6k. Much, much louder and more obnoxious than the 2200-2500 I would’ve been at going 20 in second.

He still gives me the slow down sign, but I don’t.

I’m considering dropping into low 4wd so I can hit 6k rpm going 5mph infront of his house.

I wonder what the speed limit is, because she shouldn’t feel the need to go any slower than that no matter what hand signals the neighbor uses.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

This is a good idea!

Here’s a similar suggestion.

It’s amazing how quickly these neighbors changed their tune!

This person has another suggestion.

Time to use the HOA against the neighbor!
