Well, a kid who was probably only 3 or 4 jumped out from in front of it just as I was passing by. Of course they were too short to see until just as they ran out from the front of the van. I could easily have hit them and I was not even speeding. To top it off I think the law in Michigan says the driver is ALWAYS at fault if they hit a kid under the age of 5 or something like that.

You should be scared; it'll make you slow down, I bet. I'll park my big ass Excursion with Mud Rovers on one side of the street directly across from another car so that only one car at a time can get down our street (or park my Expedition on the other side if our neighors aren't home) - that slows people down better than a speed bump. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can come talk to me about it.
