I AM writing this in the hope that the driver of NRB 18490 (a black golf with gold mags), will read it and change his way of thinking and behaving.
On two occasions I observed your reckless behaviour on the road.
At the Brackenham robot you stand on the lane turning right towards Aquadene, you rev and inch forward, but when the green arrow comes on you drive straight and onto Alumina Alee.
On the morning of 25 January you did the same again, and you weaved carelessly in between cars on Alumina Alee so that you can be at least two seconds ahead.
At the robot at Reclamation you saw a few cars in the lane that turns right towards Bell and Ritchie Ford, so you decided you would keep left as if going towards ZCBF but at the yield sign you made an illegal U-turn and headed back onto the road that would lead to Bell, Ritchie Ford. This just so you can beat the cars waiting for the robot to turn green on the very same road.
Obviously you like taking shortcuts, you are competitive with a desire for thrills, you like beating the odds and defying laws, basically you have no ‘on and off’ button on your conscience.
You need to go for a service yourself! What do you achieve by driving in such a manner?
Are you adding any value to your life or others by doing such stupid things on the road?
There are so many people who would have loved to spend more time on earth but passed on in senseless accidents caused by people such as you.
The question I must ask – whose lives are you playing with?
If yours isn’t important to you, then what about the lives of innocent road users who do obey the laws and wait their turn?
Another question – who are those parents who allow their children to sit in your car?
Do they know that they are placing their children’s lives with a reckless endangerer as yourself?
To the occupants of that car, why are you still travelling with this person? He obviously has issues that can put you at risk of losing your life.
To the driver, I am sure the day you went for your driver’s licence you were on best behaviour and followed all rules and road etiquette.
To law enforcement officials, please keep an eye out for this vehicle and re-test this young boy. He doesn’t seem to know road signs and it could save his life.
Young man you have a faith sticker on the back windscreen. Having faith and breaking laws and taking unnecessary risks won’t help.
If you die (God forbid) you would still end up paying for your mistakes and perhaps killing innocent people with your ‘fast and furious’ style of driving.
The road doesn’t belong to you. You have been given the privilege to use it, so use it wisely.
No-one is impressed with your driving style and lack of road etiquette and manners.
