Good. Every night I hear two or three, if not more, cars loudly revving down the road and I am at least 300 yards from Jog Road. Their cars should be impounded and sold at auction. Their licenses should be suspended for 12 months as well.
Well people in our community have been asking PBSO to sit at Jog Rd and Pipers Glen in the CVS Parking lot, for years. This part of Jog Rd
sounds like we have the Indy 500 racing at least once a day, and on weekend nights more. These cars that sound like they have no mufflers are ridiculous.
In addition, the 4 way stop sign on Pipers Glen and El Claire Ranch; needs a traffic light. Twice in 2 weeks, I was stopped, and drivers blow right through the stop sign, luckily, I was alert, or I’d be dead, one was driving more than 40 right through the sign. We need a traffic light there. That has been requested many times, but turned down. The other day someone was hit on their bicycle in that area. I guess they will wait until someone is killed.
