bloody idiot driver

Denise from Ebdentown

to the driver of the black 4WD who was tail gatting me at the begining of Akatarawa Rd on Sunday 04th August at around 6.40pm



YOU ALMOST HIT AND KILLED A CHILD WALKING ACROSS THE ZERBRA CROSSING by the brown owl shops.



the reason I had slown down was to allow this child to cross the crossing as per our road code, that doesn't give you the right to speed up and overtake me missing her by about 1 foot and scaring the life out of her.


I'm pretty sure the speed limit on that road is not 70km which you seemed to be going. you are very lucky I didn't get your plate because the police would have been having a chat to you



and thank goodness you didn't hit the child because that is something that you would have had to live with for the rest of your life and by the speed you were travelling at she would have been killed.


we all have moments where we get anrgy behind the wheel but MATE that was not cool!
