When will the mayhem on our roads stop!
There is no police presence and as a result there is complete lawlessness!
Years ago, the police would pull you over, if you had defective lights, loud music and loud vehicles..but no this is unheard of today!
While driving home yesterday and having to take an alternative route following an accident on Middle Road, Devonshire, a car tailgated me for several minutes on South Road, Smiths.
I had to endure the excessive tooting of the horn, expletives and the weaving and bobbing of their car in an attempt to overake! I slowed down and let them pass for fear of them running me off the road and damaging my car.
To all of you ignorant ppl who have no regard for human life or any sense of decency to your fellow road users…there is a special place in HELL for you!
