To whom it may concern:
On Friday, July 11th, I was nearly run down by one of your employees in a company vehicle.
The incident occurred at approximately 8:15 AM in Town, State. I was in the crosswalk, where legally all vehicles must yield to pedestrians, and attempting to cross the street. Your employee, however, was obviously in too much of a hurry to make her turn and gunned her engine to get through the crosswalk before me. This resulted in me coming to a stop next to the 'Yield to pedestrians' sign in the middle of the road and wait for her car to clear the crosswalk. She missed me by mere inches.
Your employee then proceeded to ignore the pedestrians in the crosswalk of the side street, those pedestrians being two children who appeared to be between 6 and 10 years old. Furthermore, the driver then made an illegal u-turn through the double yellow line, cutting off oncoming traffic and driving the crosswalk with the children yet again.
I'm not one of your customers, so my opinion may not carry much weight, but with your employee's complete disregard for the safety of others while driving in a company vehicle, it would be in your best interest to curb her poor driving before you're sued by the family of someone she's killed. It would also be in my best interest, as I do not wish to be run down on my way to work in the morning.
The vehicle was a white sedan with State commercial plates ###-### with your Verizon logo emblazoned across the driver's door. The woman driving appeared to be in her mid-30's. And, again, this occured on 7/11/08 in Town, State at approx. 8:15 AM. This should give you enough information to hopefully locate the employee and perhaps suggest she show more restraint when driving.
I waited until now to contact your company at the behest of my girlfriend who suggested I take the weekend to calm down and approach this email in a rational manner. I believe that was good advice, as my initial reaction was, I think understandably, quite wrathful.
Best Regards,
Me
