This just another reason the bridge to ferry Reach needs to be repaired. So it can be used for emergency like this.
Yes, accidents do happen but this has gotten out of control. Time to make a movie to show things that are the cause. Then its time for action.
“Then its time for action.”
Like what? Enforcing traffic laws consistently?
The other day, my wife and I are travelling in our van on middle road Devonshire approaching a corner when suddenly this really big green and black very large water truck with the rear set of wheels that can be lift off the road, I think its the only one on the road, came around that corner at like a bat out of hell travelling at 60kph or faster. What the hell was his hurry? driving a 15ton truck at that speed is insanity. He was looking to kill someone driving like that. This nonsense needs to stop NOW. I wish I had gotten his plate number because he needs to be reported to the police and TCD.
Who know’s the person could have had a medical emergency, we dont know so we all need to just shut up….and all they need is a bridge next to the causeway one way in one way out, leave ferry alone!
