Driving
Today I was driving down Woodfields Road, I got to the corner of Two Chain to turn towards Tram Road. Much to my anger a white newish SUV cut the corner and was full in my lane, this was 10 meters from the corner. You would have seen my car it is a large people mover had your car been hit it would have rolled you given your speed angle and the size of my car. One you were extremely lucky I was already breaking for the corner and two I actually could stop. You would have been 30 centimetres from my front bumper. People wonder why there are so many accidents and deaths on the road. It's because idiots like you are allowed something which kills others because of you inability to drive and have consideration of other drivers.
