It is one thing to drive a little fast on a normal road, but when you are in a school zone, you really need to slow down.

What would you do if you noticed someone driving through a school zone at well over the speed limit when there were lots of kids around?

That is what the person in this story witnessed, so when they were able to catch up with that driver on the highway, they got ahead of them and slowed down to under the speed limit for about 10 miles just to teach them a lesson.

While speeding in a school zone is awful, slowing down traffic on the highway for 10 miles is nearly as bad. Read through the full story below and see what you think they should have done.

Speeding in a School Zone? I’ll Make Sure You’re Late!

I was on my typical morning commute when I got to a school zone in my small suburban town.

People who don’t drive safely in school zones put kids at serious risk.

For some context, this road in particular is normally 45mph normally and people ignoring the school zone signs and nearly hitting a kid is common because of the combination of the high school starting really early and people trying to rush to get to their jobs in the city.

The high school always has groups of runners crossing the 2 busy intersections along this road, so when I see reckless drivers come so close to these kids, it lights a desire in me for petty revenge.

They deserve a ticket at the very least.

This morning, I was going 20mph through the school zone with all the other cars doing what they are supposed to, when out of nowhere a car came speeding by going at least 15mph above the speed limit.

Luckily this gremlin of a woman got held up at the next intersection in front of me, so I got a good chance to memorize what the car looked like so I can enact my petty revenge.

What a horrible driver.

Everything seemed to fall in place for this revenge, I was behind them, they were going to same direction as me towards the city for work, and despite them cutting off people and switching lanes a ton, they never went out of my line of sight and I end up behind them again as we go onto the highway.

As we are getting on the highway they nearly collide with a truck who is trying to legally merge with a blinker into the freeway ramp just because they don’t want to let them in, so it only solidifies this person is worthy of a little petty revenge.

Time to teach her a lesson.

Once on the highway, I safely make my way over to the far left lane, and guess who is behind me? The gremlin who likes to speed in school zones so she isn’t late!

Traffic was going slow except for the far left lane, so I was able to slow down to 5 below the speed limit and still be side to side with all the other cars in traffic.

They must have been so upset.

The gremlin was STUCK behind me going slow for the next 10 miles while I blast “Dumbass” by Dennis Steven Wright with the windows down.

I left with plenty of time to get to work so this didn’t affect me in the least. The look of anger on their face in the rear view mirror made it all worth it.

That awful driver obviously deserved this, but what about all the other people on the road? This person slowed down traffic for miles rather than just reporting her to the police.

Read on to see what the people in the comments have to say about this situation.

I was thinking this exact thing.

This must have been so frustrating.

Now this is a great idea.

This seems like a great preventative. But it isn’t enough.

Sometimes even the police don’t care enough.

Why would anyone speed through a school zone? It is so irresponsible. They have to know that kids aren’t as careful as they should be.

It is unfortunate that the police don’t do more to crack down on this type of thing.
