We have a one way street parallel to our road, it has a railway bridge and a chicane shortly afterwards. The boy racers view it as their own personal race-track and often come down the road at 40mph (it's a 20mph) and write their cars off on the chicane bit.
It's been going on for years and is very depressing but Barnet council are trying to do something about it and have had a public consultation.

I live in Southwark and always drive at 20 in the correct zones. I have lost count of the number of people who accelerate to overtake me on residential roads over speedbumps. I also frequently have fuckwits who use my residential street (between two school campuses) as a 40-50mph drag strip.
Yesterday at a local closed road street party, quite a few cyclists chose to cycle through the party in and around people and children instead of taking a small detour or getting off and walking through the closed road event.
People are selfish cunts and their chosen mode of transport has nothing to do with it.
