My way causes risk of harm to the neighbors.

Your way causes definite harm to the property owner.

Risk of harm > definite harm.

Children have boundaries for their own safety as well as to prevent harm to others. Adults aren't really that different. Boundaries for behavior are useful when living within a society. There isn't anything magical about being an adult.

Quote from: C. S. Lewis

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Comparing adults to children is not the way to win friends. The "something magical" about being adult is that you get to make your own decisions.

Demonstrate that C. S. Lewis was against traffic laws.

Not when you endanger others due to irresponsible behavior. You have a habit of twisting around things. Such habits will lead you down paths that will not be fruitful for you, precisely because your views are a twisted version of common sense.

Try to be more constructive.
