There is an older gentleman who lives at the end of our road who has a large shiny 4x4. He can often be found washing and polishing his beloved motor of a weekend. Is pathological about parking outside his house, will ask other people to move if he sees someone easing into a space outside his door if he is parked further down the road so he can move his car etc etc...does not have a dropped curb...has harassed people when they park outside his house ...
My issue is this. He loves to speed down our road at high speed and brake sharply before turning the corner, our road is only short, and there are many children who play out on the footpaths and front gardens. He has had several near misses when footballs have gone into the road and 2 that I know of have burst under his tyres.
It is only a matter of time before he runs over one of the kids who play down our road and as it is narrow, there will be nowhere for him to go but into a parked car or front garden. (Likely with bystander under his car)
AIBU to leave him a note asking him to reduce his speed and to take a bit more care, (sample draft turned out to be a bit aggressive, as he nearly hit one of the neighbours kids after cubs drop off last week, was dark and the boys were waiting to cross the road sticking heads out from behind car to check for traffic nearly ended in decapitation..!) (only very slight exaggeration!)
Would like to routinely let down his tyres, but maybe better to start small?
