A letter I submitted to the local newspaper recently

Following an incident where a woman driver nearly took out GMan, I sent this to the local newspaper, and it was printed in their letters page.
Subsequently, a 3rd party who has access to these things has asked for the registration number so they can get me the details of the owner of the vehicle.....


Bad Driver:-
To the woman driving the white Mercedes Benz - Registration number KVZ 59? GP - Robert Broom Drive - Wednesday 2nd January 2008.

You drove recklessly, and pushed my 16 year old son, on his black motorbike, off the road onto the pavement, just outside the "new" KFC. Thankfully, he had the sense to see what you were doing and after slapping his hand on your car, to get your attention, managed to climb the curb to avoid being hit by your car.

Now, I will be on the lookout for you / your car, and when I find you, you will know who I am.
Just because you drive a Mercedes does not give you carte blanche to drive any way you want. He does not have to go over the speed limit just because you are behind him, so following him right up close to his back wheel does nothing other than endanger his life. Overtaking on a solid white line is illegal, and more so when you only cross with 2 wheels and scrape past the other vehicle, in this case his motorbike, as all you are doing is endangering his life. If you are in such a hurry, leave earlier, or drive with your hazards on, then people will make way for you. Be grateful you didn't knock him down, because I would have sued you for attempted murder.

Yes, that is how serious the situation cold have been, as purposely swerving towards him shows intent! For you maybe a stupid prank, showing off in front of your lady friend maybe, for me my son's life, and I will kill to protect him.

You must also go down on bended knee and thank whatever false god you may pray to that it was not me, or one of my fellow bikers who's life you put at risk, because then someone else would be reading this to you.
If you live in Krugersdorp, our paths will cross. And then we will sort this out.

Salagatle!
