Why do people speed in Geelong?

After my recent, riveting post on indicator use in Geelong, I've been thinking about people and speeding in Geelong. We live reasonably near La Trobe Terrace. And people hoon down that road like you would not believe. Our street comes off La Trobe Terrace, with traffic lights, and people hoon down our street too.

It's enough to make me want to move so my puppy and my child don't get hit by some moron who is either rushing to make the lights, or feels the need to race to the end of our street to see the waters of Corio Bay. Morons.

Our puppy has already been hit once - by a driver who didn't stop. What kind of person hits a puppy and doesn't stop? And before you say "irresponsible dog owner let dog out near busy road", nope, it wasn't me or even my husband. Tradesmen, working under the house, accidentally let the little man out. Poor blokes were quite distressed. Luckily for everyone the puppy was fine. A quick trip to the vet (who says new mothers can't get out of the house in under five minutes?) to check him out and he was back in the garden running riot. Probably the painkiller helped with that.
