Drive that road 3-4 times a day! People drive way too fast! Especially the FEDEX van last Friday about 2.30, met him on a bend near Newtown, he was on the wrong side of the road!!!!!!
I made a phone call to complain but no one wanted to no!!
Also the same day a motorcycle came round a bend too Quick and he was on the wrong side!! I had to hedge the truck too avoid him!!!
Quite right, that road is no more than a lane and should be treated as such.
More bad driving on the I o w
Every day on that road phil !!
