How do you ask someone nicely to drive slower?

Question

There is this idiot young girl who always drives fast in the driveway of our apartment. I already had a little arguement with her when I was exiting the driveway and she was about to enter, so I waited for her to reverse. She reversed on the wrong side of the street in which I had to turn on so she tried to yell and tell me to pass so I yelled back, "you're on the wrong side of the street stupid, I'm going to turn that way!" There are also times when she drives so close to the parked cars and fast, if someone pulls out of the parking, she's sure to hit them. Is there an effective way to tell this dumb girl to drive with common sense, I want to knock her out, but I'm pregnant. I always tell my husband as soon as I have this baby, I'm gonna beat her a**! Help people, advice would help me alot.

Answer 1

If i were in this situation i would try to avoid confrontation with the trouble maker all together, i personally have ZERO patience (as well as zero tolerance) in any and every situation, driving included. If you know her apartment number, while she's gone (i'm assuming you'll know when that is if she has a loud car) leave a note saying that her driving is a threat to the residents of the complex and that further reckless driving will force law enforcement to be called upon.

Hopefully law enforcement won't truely need to be brought in and only used as a threat. Give her approximately 3 days to change her driving habits and if nothing changes, truely go to the cops. 3-1-1 would help seeing this is a problem but not a nonemergency.

Answer 2

paste a nice message on her windscreen using house hold paste that will slow her down (it goes all slimy and takes a while to clean off)don't let her see you doing it do it a few times she will get the mesage,

Answer 3

Why dont you slow down and think, get her license plate number and report her to your local police department, problem solved..

Answer 4

given your use of the words idiot,dumb,stupid, and thoughts of I'm going to knock her out or beat her a** .I don't think there is a nice way for YOU to tell her to drive slower> Maybe your temper is racing and when that slows down you could ask your apartment manager to talk with her about her dangerous driving in the parking lot. Good Luck!

Answer 5

no nice way, just wait for her to have an accident that may cure it for awhile.

Answer 6

I had the same problem when I lived in apartment complex. I felt like I was putting my life in danger every time I walked across the parking lot to check my mail. For some reason we had a lot of speed demons that lived in our complex and they always drove at least 40mph through our parking lot.  I finally got fed up with it and called the apartment office and they told me that they were already aware of the problem and was taking care of it. A few weeks later I saw a policeman patrolling our parking lot and I saw him pull over a bunch of those idiots. So you may want to contact the apartment office first. If they want help you then contact the police department. Good luck!!!

Answer 7

Do you really think she is going to care (nicely or not)? That kind of people only stop when they hit a pole kill a few inocent people and burst in flames.Sad but true.

Report her to the apartment's administration, I'm sure your apartment building have rules about speed  limits and good driving so file a formal complaint.

And please forget about beating her, your new baby don't need a mother in jail (only in the moives you can beat people and not go to jail).
