ACT AGAINST ‘MAN IN UNIFORM’

To “metro police sergeant”. Being a police officer, why did you not arrest the man for committing an offence in your presence?

L McLEOD If you have a ticket, you have the details of the “man in uniform” who asked for a sixpack of beers. Take action now. JS

TRAFFIC COP BREAKING THE RULES

In response to “Just give up”. On Saturday February 2 ,I witnessed Mr Traffic Cop in his marked VW Polo [I have the registrati­on number] driving on the highway while talking on his mobile, thereafter exceeding the speed limit as well as a few other “minor” infringeme­nts ... with apparently no regard for the rules of the road and his position as an officer of the law.

TIRED OF BAD AND RUDE DRIVERS

PE drivers, don’t use your cellphones while driving. Stop behind the white line at stop streets and intersecti­ons. Stop for orange and red traffic lights. Don’t speed. Don’t go too slowly either. Be considerat­e. Wait your turn, don’t cut in from the wrong lane.

BEACHFRONT AREA DISGRACE

The beachfront braai area along Marine Drive opposite a Summerstra­nd hotel and golf course is an absolute disgrace on a Saturday morning. The excuse is that it provides employment. But what if they don’t work on Saturday? The place is a mess for residents and visitors alike! EARLY RIDER

FIX ROADS WITH PLASTIC

With the roads being in a dire state of repair, it is time for companies that work with recycled plastic to get involved. It is easier to fix roads with recycled plastic granules and a lot cheaper. Overseas companies are doing it. Come on Eastern Cape, think outside the box.
