Speed bump
The road near my house is straight and flat with a 50km/30mph speed limit. It's tempting to speed, but I know that there are kids on bikes, walkers, dogs, rabbits, pheasants and even sometimes deer. Last night there was a BMW right up my exhaust pipe, obviously frustrated. Eventually he'd had enough and overtook me, just as we got to a speed bump. He'd accelerated to go past me, so hit the bump with a bang and bounced over it. As he sped off into the distance a big chunk of something fell of his car, and I could see sparks flying as something metallic dragged along the road behind me. Poetic justic, I thought.

When I were a lad
I lived near the edge of a village just where a largely-ignored 40 limit went down to 30. People generally paid little mind. Then, one day, they put quite a vicious little speed bump in a few yards from my bedroom window. Almost immediately somebody careened into it at full whack, with a satifyingly loud CRUNCH and the loss of most of their after-market front bumper.

Sadly for The Chav, it only learns from personal experience and that speed hump proceeded to chomp its way systematically through every Saxo in town until they'd all figured out that trimming their speed might be an option.

Literally couldn't sleep for two weeks, largely from laughter.
