The following is a video recorded on Thursday / 2.18.10 on Bethany Road between Mayfield and Providence. Time is between 4:05pm and 4:15pm.
The video starts after the driver passed the camera car at a high rate of speed headed north on Bethany Road. All open road neighborhoods harbor double yellow lines meaning passing is not allowed. Bethany Road has a posted speed limit of 40mph and is home to 44 families. 4000 plus cars a day travel Bethany Road.
A couple of things to look out for as you watch the video:
1. The offending driver brakes numerous times. The reason being is there is a car and school bus in front of him and he is tailgating this driver looking at another chance to pass.
2. At approximately 14 to 16 seconds into the video, you will see him begin to attempt to pass the car and bus in front of him but quickly changes his mind. Watch his front tires go over the center line at this time.
3. When the intersection is reached, you will notice some movement within the offending vehicle. They are actually looking back at the camera car due to passing it earlier.
4. Once it is their turn at the intersection, they punch it and fly up to Bethany Way.
5. Once on Bethany Way, you will see that they are long gone due to driving at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle in question is a white Cherokee Laredo; Fulton TAG# BAU 2946 with an LSU decal on the back windshield.
The Milton Police Department & City Council have been given this video and made aware of the issues surrounding it.
Since Milton's incorporation in 2006, we have suffered six wreck related fatalities - one of which transpired on Bethany Road in early 2009.
All fatalities have taken place in the open road neighborhoods; none have happened in the subdivision neighborhoods.
If dangerous drivers such as this are not dealt with properly with a good system put in place for the open road neighborhoods, ALL Milton families are in jeopardy; including yours.
Many thanks to our wonderful Milton Police Officers for all they do in keeping Milton Families safe!

You are the dangerous driver. At 0:52 you failed to stop at the sign, going through the intersection while holding a camera. You are chasing a vehicle, holding a camera and the incoming traffic is clearly moving to the far right of their lane to avoid you. Get off your road rage! YOU are the dangerous driver on the road. And BTW, no I am not the driver of the vehicle in front of you. I encourage Milton PD to look at your video and issue you the appropriate citations.
Ignorant.
1. I did stop at the stop sign.
2. Camera is sitting on dash until Bethany Way were it slides off.
3. Not chasing vehicle; fastest I am going is 40mph.That is why they pull away so easily.
Both my mother and wife live on this road. Speeding is constant from people like you. Thus, I will video tape anyone putting my family in danger and submitting it to the proper authorities.
Feel free to call me to discuss. But then again, you are a coward and will hide behind a computer screen.
I am right here waiting...

If someone were breaking into your house and you shot the intruder, the first poster would have said that you should have handed the gun to the intruder and told them to shoot you.
BackAsswards is the word for the day. Then again we do live in MILTON!
Do not delete this comment for the use of the word ass since it is diction correct (meaning donkey) perhaps that should be the new logo on the side of the city vehicles.
You are so far from the vehicle that I can not make out the tag until you are coming to a stop at the 4 way. It is obvious you are going slow and the vehicle in
front is breaking the law by speeding, and harassing the vehicle in front of them.
It is called following to close. The vehicle is trying to pass on a double yellow line. When did they pass the law that said you can now pass on the double yellow?
If this were a chase Tim then your vehicle must need a tune up or gas. Try to keep up next time.
Hell if we can drive like the crazy in front of you (and be defended for it) then do it.
How about going after the people who actually did something wrong. It is exactly like the previous poster said.
Instead of prosecuting the airplane underwear bomber you would prefer to go after the guy who assalted him on the airplane and saved everyone's life.
I believe the state of Georgia requires you stop 3 seconds before proceeding through the intersections buddy.
Ignorant? Ok, there is no need for name calling! Also, while wreckless driver is marginally accurate (no wrecks were involved), the term you are looking for is RECKLESS driver. That doesn't make you ignorant, just an angry blogger.
1. I did stop at the stop sign.
A: Let the tape be the evidence. At 0:51 the Jeep's rear tires clear the stop line. From that moment on, your vehicle is in full roll. Notice the two oil spots on the lower right hand side of the screen, they continually move across the screen. Oh yeah, there is also the engine noise of constant acceleration between the aforementioned time points.
2. Camera is sitting on dash until Bethany Way were it slides off.
3. Not chasing vehicle; fastest I am going is 40mph.That is why they pull away so easily.
A: A distance .6 miles between 1818 Bethany Way(the 45MPH sign) and 2200 Bethany Way(the "Stop Sign Ahead Sign) was covered in 45 seconds (tape between 1:46 and 2:31). An average of roughly 45MPH (within the posted speed limit).
Both my mother and wife live on this road. Speeding is constant from people like you. Thus, I will video tape anyone putting my family in danger and submitting it to the proper authorities
A: Why are you accusing me of speeding? Do you have a tape of me speeding too?
Feel free to call me to discuss. But then again, you are a coward and will hide behind a computer screen.
A: There is no need to discuss. All my comments are factual and have references to your tape.
I am right here waiting...
A: Have a nice refreshing drink and wait. This is what blogs are for.

The angry employee just ended their shift. blah blah blah
Tim it is apparent this person has issue with you. They could care less about the purpose of the video.
To the above poster referencing a city logo change. I agree a jackass fits the bill.
evn though I live in a subdivision, I can't blame him for having a problem with speeders in Milton. My eldest teen was in a wreck early in 2009 and it was because of speeding.Honestly, I am amazed that all the property on the country thru ways haven't give way yet to malls and communities. Time for you to sell, Tim, before you lose a family member.
