Had a teen-ager pass me recently at very high speed southbound on Brunswick road in the turn by LEGENDS Apartments ................. driving a jacked up Gold colored older Jeep Cherokee with large mud tires, he went around me by crossing over the double yellow lines, IN THE TURN !!!
I called *2 right away on my cellphone, gave a description of the vehicle. I then took the short cut from Brunswick road through that empty subdivision that joins Old Brunswick road and New Brunswick road ................... I then caught up to that Jeep Cherokee and I followed him into the WALMART parking lot and watched him park at the Bank that is in front of WALMART on HWY 64. I called Bartlett Police again, *2, gave them the license plate number and description of the driver as he walked into the Bank. As I waited for Bartlett Police to show up, the young driver then exited out of the Bank at which point I elected to confront him about this incident on Old Brunswick Road. He apologized and offered to shake my hand, but I sternly reminded him that we have had many accidents on that road and he needs to be more careful about his driving.
I am not sure that I did the right thing and would have rathered that the Bartlett Police would have had a discussion with him as well, in order to drive the point home.
Friends, if your kids are out driving like they own the road, remind them that guys like me are also driving around and willing to get the Police involved. I am not afraid to get the Police on the phone and report a problem, I do it all the time wherever I travel, if the need arises. I don't want to see any of my Family or Friends hurt by some senseless or stupid act of driving on these local roads around here ............................. Thank you.
