Dangerous driver

-

Having witnessed a young girl nearly killed, I feel compelled to draw attention to dangerous driving. At 7.10pm on Monday, a large white van drove straight through a stop sign on Sarsfield St, Herne Bay, and turned right into the Curran St on-ramp. Driving down Curran St (slowly, luckily) was a small car that managed to slam on its brakes and swing left to avoid a major collision. The white van shot off on to the bridge.

I was driving on the other side of Sarsfield towards the intersecti­on and was horrified at what I saw. In the small car was a young girl, and she drove off very slowly. I followed, got her to pull over and gave her my details as I wanted to see the van driver prosecuted for nearly killing this girl who had done absolutely nothing wrong.

Unfortunat­ely she was too shocked to get the registrati­on and the van was gone. If anyone did get the registrati­on please, let us get that driver.
