Lower speed

Dear Editor:

RE: Grow up, May 28.

The recent letter regarding both noisy and speeding vehicles is not just because of COVID-19, but has been going on for quite some time.

I moved to Fergus just over a year ago and immediately noticed the phenomenon, mainly as I was so used to the relative peace and quiet of a side road. I am sure that most drivers are quite nice and respectable persons, but for some reason they do not seem to understand how disturbing and intrusive, and of course, sometimes dangerous, all this speed, noisy exhausts and radios, can be in residential areas.

Lowering the speed limit from 50 to 40km/h might be a good start – and an official actually out there monitoring for noisy vehicles.
